Subject: [PATCH iproute2 3/3] tc: build ct label strings with hexstring_alloc
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 12:11:40 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723191511.216182-4-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260723191511.216182-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
flower_print_ct_label() and ct_print_labels() formatted the key and
optional mask into a fixed on-stack buffer with manual pointer
arithmetic, relying on hexstring_n2a() not to overrun it. Build the
"key/mask" string with hexstring_alloc() and asprintf() instead, which
sizes to the data and drops the open-coded offset handling.
