Iproute2 now gets warning in xfrm code with Gcc-12
In function ‘xfrm_algo_parse’,
inlined from ‘xfrm_state_modify.constprop’ at xfrm_state.c:573:5:
xfrm_state.c:162:32: warning: writing 1 byte into a region of size 0 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
162 | buf[j] = val;
| ~~~~~~~^~~~~
Fixing it properly would be hard since buf points to element in alg union which can be from xfrm.h.
I.e:
struct xfrm_algo {
char alg_name[64];
unsigned int alg_key_len; /* in bits */
char alg_key[0];
};
Looks like use of legacy zero sized arrays in uapi is the underlying root cause.
Any good suggestions on best fix here?
