Users being logged in as someone else?

[orimarc]

First of all, I don't know if this is the correct sub-forum, but there's something FUCKY happening. I was checking the simualted netboard thread, and I found this post (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1964&start=330#p19355):

How is this

Code: Select all

uint64_t testGUID;
memcpy(&testGUID, &recv_data[0], recv_data.size());

returning more than 8 bytes of data? I guess if you pack the sends together this might happen. The receive class should buffer until it receives an entire packet. With the exception to the size itself. I guess I could modify that to handle random amounts of data returned.

I mean in theory if this just returned 2 bytes instead of 4

Code: Select all

   int size = 0;
   int result = 0;

   result = SDLNet_TCP_Recv(m_receiveSocket, &size, sizeof(int));

The code would fall over.

I DIDN'T WRITE THAT. So, next time you're in the forum, make sure you're not somehow logged in as another user.

yeah it's me
I'm not sure how it happened. I was logged in as myself then it just shows your account. It's not the first time it's happened, had it once or twice before. I assume it's some kind of database bug lol

I've seen this weird behaviour on another forum too, some guy was asking questions and it looked like they were logged in as me.
