Description
We observed buffer overflow errors due to certain freesurfer commands that are executed in
recon-surf
(mri_label2vol
andmris_anatomical_stats
) when subject directory paths are too long.This particulary occurs when a freesurfer version built for Ubuntu is run on a Centos machine, but may happen in other cases.
The following is an example of the error message (from
recon-surf.log
):This was the case when
$SUBJECTS_DIR/$SUBJECT_ID
was at least 192 characters long.Solution
This PR adds a check in
recon-surf.sh
for the length of$SUBJECTS_DIR/$SUBJECT_ID
, then raises an error and exits if it exceeds 185 characters.
