Bug 45977 – [patch] libnet 1.1.2 (icmp redirect)

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alberto Ornaghi 2004-03-28 05:24:28 UTC]

is it possible to create libnet-1.1.2-r1 with a patch that fixes an error in the code for icmp_redirect ?

if you test the sample code icmp_redir in the sample directory, you will get this error :

Can't build ICMP header: libnet_pblock_append(): memcpy would overflow buffer 

the patch fixes this.
I don't know if this is a standard procedure for gentoo to fix the source code... but I'm trying to push it anyway...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. make the libnet samples
2. execute icmp_redirect -s 1.1.1.1 -d 2.2.2.2 -g 3.3.3.3
3.

Actual Results:  
Can't build ICMP header: libnet_pblock_append(): memcpy would overflow buffer 

Expected Results:  
Wrote 70 byte ICMP packet; check the wire.

right, when you first mentioned the new version i checked and it wasnt released yet ;)

actually, the version was released, but because a problem with a backup/restore the page was restored in a different directory :)  now it's up again.

bye
