Subject: [PATCH] ip: handle NULL return from localtime in strxf_time in
Date: Sun, 16 Feb 2025 05:25:23 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250216022523.647342-1-ant.v.moryakov@gmail.com> (raw)
Static analyzer reported:
Pointer 'tp', returned from function 'localtime' at ipxfrm.c:352, may be NULL
and is dereferenced at ipxfrm.c:354 by calling function 'strftime'.
Corrections explained:
The function localtime() may return NULL if the provided time value is
invalid. This commit adds a check for NULL and handles the error case
by copying "invalid-time" into the output buffer.
Unlikely, but may return an error
Triggers found by static analyzer Svace.
