Subject: [PATCH 2/3] daemon: fix IPv6 address truncation in ip2str()
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 15:46:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5c01ec3cadce441cfa48e0499a62e57aa4cc619e.1778773592.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2300.git.git.1778773592.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Sebastien Tardif <sebtardif@ncf.ca>

The sockaddr struct size (ai_addrlen) is passed as the output buffer
size to inet_ntop(). For IPv6, sizeof(sockaddr_in6) is 28 bytes but
INET6_ADDRSTRLEN is 46, so long IPv6 addresses are silently truncated.

Fix this by passing sizeof(ip) instead, which is the actual size of
the destination buffer. Drop the now-unused len parameter from
ip2str() and update all callers.
