Subject: [PATCH 1/8] alfred: vis: reject too long unix socket paths
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 18:01:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260728-bugfixes-vis-v1-1-2540447c8a67@narfation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260728-bugfixes-vis-v1-0-2540447c8a67@narfation.org>

The unix socket path needs to be stored in sockaddr_un::sun_path. But
strncpy() is silently truncating the string when the target buffer is too
small.

Reject such paths with a clear error message.

Fixes: 6c6a6f735054 ("alfred: Make unix socket path configurable")
Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
