Description Michal Turecki 2005-10-01 23:10:41 UTC
Sniffit crashes on strncpy(IP,hlp2,255) in sniffit.0.3.7.c on lines 1645 and 
1660, to-be-tokenized hlp string copied from optarg is a regular ipv4 address 
(as I checked with printf). Tested with and without optimizations. I dunno what 
ipv6 address string format is expected before tokenization with ":", so I can't 
propose solution. Problem is in hlp2=(char *)strtok(hlp,":"), where hlp2 is 
probably NULL when there are no ":" in hlp, so it should be checked before 
strncpy-ing.
Next problem is "strip sniffit" in Makefile.in on line 31, I think it should be 
patched to make sniffit comply the FEATURES="nostrip" flag.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge sniffit; sniffit -s 127.0.0.1
Actual Results:  
Segmentation fault

Expected Results:

I can confirm the problem on amd64, but not on x86.
Comment 2 Benjamin Smee (strerror) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-26 12:21:08 UTC
This is something that should be sent upstream.
