C LinkedList storing the last value only - c

Question

I am having problem storing all the values into the Generic LinkedList, my linkedlist works totally works on a normal user Keyboard input but when I try to store values(strings) from a file, there is something weird happening, it only store the last value of the file.
I have checked my addToList() function but theres nothing wrong with it.
P.s But I am feeling its either I am printing wrong or my reading from the file into the linkedlist is wrong.
Thank you.
#include<stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
#include "LinkedListItems.h"
#define MAX 10000
int main()
{
printf("Testing MissileFIle.txt");
void* secondStr;
//Had to malloc the thing
secondStr = (void*)malloc(1*sizeof(char));
FILE* missileFile;
missileFile = fopen("missiles.txt", "r");
if(missileFile == NULL)
{
printf("The file is empty");
}
number_list_t* missileList = calloc(1, sizeof(number_list_t));
void* input;
//Have to allocate the input
input = malloc(1*sizeof(void*));
//this is to read the data into the second Str
while(fgets(secondStr,MAX,missileFile) != NULL)
{
//Let just print out first just to test my memory
printf("%s\n",secondStr);
//Right now its only reading one string so far which is really weird AFFFFF
addTolist(missileList,secondStr);
}
//Gotta declare another list just to print out the list
number_node_t* current = missileList->head;
while(current != NULL)
{
//There is something wrong with this line
printf("%s\n",current-> number);
current = current-> next;
}
fclose(missileFile);
}
OUTPUT:
Testing MissileFile.txt

Answer 1

The way you have implemented this, it cannot work.
The main problem, among many, is related to the void* pointers which cannot be dereferenced.
The size of elements should be given, either on creating the list in which case all elements are of the same type, or separately for each individual element. You can check out this question for an example of something that could work.
As far as the buffer thing is concerned, addToList should allocate new memory for each newNumber. What you are currently doing results in all data of the list pointing to a specific space in memory (the one allocated to secondStr). Each time you change the content of that memory space, all elements in the list are affected. This is why you print the same value for all elements and more specifically the last value in your file.
The way you allocate memory is also not really ok, same goes for the way you open your file, there is memory leaking etc. I am not going into details.

At least this issue:
Copy the string
OP's goal includes the need to copy the string from the read buffer to the list, not just copy the buffer pointer.
// void addTolist(number_list_t* list, void* newNumber) {
void addStringTolist(number_list_t* list, const char *s) {
// number_node_t* newNode = calloc(1,sizeof(number_node_t));
number_node_t* newNode = calloc(1, sizeof *newNode); // todo: add error check
size_t sz = strlen(s) + 1;
newNode->number = malloc(sz); // todo: add error check
strpy(newNode->number, s);
newNode->next = list->head;
list->head = newNode;
}
Note: When freeing the list, newNode->number also needs to be free'd.

regarding:
while(fgets(secondStr,MAX,missileFile) != NULL)
MAX is defined as 10000 but secondStr is defined as pointer to one byte. so when this is executed, a buffer overflow occurs.
This is undefined behavior and probably the root of the problem with reading from a file
