Hi.
Thanks for the heads-up. I've committed a change (which increases the size instead of reducing it) - but I have not tested it at all.
I consider fastx-toolkit
to be unmaintained - and I have added a big README notice saying so.

Hi Gordon and all,
In Computer Security, Privacy, and DNA Sequencing: Compromising Computers with Synthesized DNA, Privacy Leaks, and More (2017), Ney, Koscher, Organick, Ceze & Kohno, University of Washington, report a buffer overflow in FASTX-Toolkit, caused by the difference between
MAX_SEQ_LINE_LENGTH
(25000) andMAX_SEQUENCE_LENGTH
(2000). Would it suffice to setMAX_SEQ_LINE_LENGTH
to 2000 to solve the problem?
