Subject: [PATCH] daemon: fix network address handling bugs
Date: Sat, 09 May 2026 01:48:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2299.git.git.1778291290159.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Sebastien Tardif <sebtardif@ncf.ca>
Fix three related issues in daemon.c's network address handling:
lookup_hostname() calls getaddrinfo() with AF_UNSPEC hints, so it may
return IPv6 results. However, the code unconditionally casts ai_addr to
sockaddr_in and passes AF_INET to inet_ntop(). On IPv6-only hosts, this
reads from the wrong struct offset, producing garbage IP addresses. Fix
by checking ai_family and handling both AF_INET and AF_INET6.
ip2str() passes the sockaddr struct size (ai_addrlen) as the output
buffer size argument to inet_ntop(). For IPv6, sizeof(sockaddr_in6) is
28 bytes but INET6_ADDRSTRLEN is 46, so long IPv6 addresses are silently
truncated. Fix by passing sizeof(ip) instead, and drop the now-unused
len parameter.
execute() logs "Connection from %s:%s" using REMOTE_ADDR and
REMOTE_PORT environment variables, but only checks REMOTE_ADDR for NULL.
If REMOTE_PORT is unset, NULL is passed to printf's %s, which is
undefined behavior. Fix by using a fallback string.
