Subject: af_unix unix_getname: return size for unnamed sockets too small?
Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2011 18:40:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110202174015.GB25515@suse.de> (raw)
Hi,
In net/unix/af_unix.c::unix_getname() there is a small problem:
if (!u->addr) {
sunaddr->sun_family = AF_UNIX;
sunaddr->sun_path[0] = 0; // not copied out
*uaddr_len = sizeof(short);
} else {
struct unix_address *addr = u->addr;
*uaddr_len = addr->len;
memcpy(sunaddr, addr->name, *uaddr_len);
}
The if (!u->addr) case will not copy out the \0 in the sun_path, as
uaddr_len is just the size of sun_family.
(Shown by socat crashing after decoding gethostname return and expected
sun_path to be a valid string (and not seeing the \0)).
Should it perhaps be *uaddr_len = sizeof(short)+sizeof(char)?
Ciao, Marcus
