Subject: [nft PATCH v2 4/4] evaluate: Avoid undefined behaviour in concat_subtype_id()
Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2016 19:39:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1472578792-2991-5-git-send-email-phil@nwl.cc> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1472578792-2991-1-git-send-email-phil@nwl.cc>

For the left side of a concat expression, dtype is NULL and therefore
off is 0. In that case the code expects to get a datatype of
TYPE_INVALID, but this is fragile as the output of concat_subtype_id()
is undefined for n > 32 / TYPE_BITS.

To fix this, call datatype_lookup() directly passing the expected
TYPE_INVALID as argument if off is 0.

Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>

Changes since v1:
- Understood (and reproduced) when the situation causing the undefined
  behaviour happens.
- Understood what the code is supposed to do in that situation.
- Based on the information at hand, implemented a solution which avoids
  undefined behaviour.
