Sam Lantinga 79a846d486 Fixed bug 3334 - SDL_ShowMessageBox uses wrong index and accesses un-allocated memory
romain.lacroix

For the windows implementation of SDL_ShowMessageBox() : ./src/video/windows/SDL_windowsmessagebox.c:345 WIN_ShowMessageBox()

The implementation in 2.0.4 uses "button index" for parameter "id" of function AddDialogButton().

It then expects the value provided in param wParam of function MessageBoxDialogProc() to be a valid index of a button.

It uses this value to index in the array of buttons when DialogBoxIndirect() returns (line 474 : *buttonid = buttons[which].buttonid;)

However, when dismissing this box with Escape, the return value of DialogBoxIndirect will be SDL_MESSAGEBOX_BUTTON_ESCAPEKEY_DEFAULT (=2) which is not always a valid index of array buttons.

When the array buttons has a length less or equal than 2, the memory access is invalid; I can see that the value written to *buttonId is uninitialized memory (random value).

The fix I propose : use value "buttonid" (field of button) for parameter "id" of AddDialogButton(), then copy return value of DialogBoxIndirect() in *buttonid. This way, we will not use an out-of-bounds index in array buttons.
