From 08dbfb691d8e03c7200138d55447fc29916e0362 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ajs Date: Sun, 3 Apr 2005 03:40:52 +0000 Subject: 2005-04-02 Andrew J. Schorr * if_ioctl.c: (interface_list_ioctl) Use if_get_by_name_len. * if_proc.c: (ifaddr_proc_ipv6) Increase size of ifname buffer to avoid overflow. * kernel_socket.c: (ifan_read) Use if_get_by_name_len. * if.h: Fix comments to reflect that if_lookup_by_name and if_get_by_name now require the argument strings to be NUL-terminated. * if.c: (if_lookup_by_name) Compare using strcmp. (if_get_by_name) Pass strlen(ifname) as 2nd arg to if_create. --- lib/if.h | 23 ++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) (limited to 'lib/if.h') diff --git a/lib/if.h b/lib/if.h index 4cfc9e77..6946865c 100644 --- a/lib/if.h +++ b/lib/if.h @@ -217,20 +217,17 @@ struct interface *if_lookup_by_index (unsigned int); struct interface *if_lookup_exact_address (struct in_addr); struct interface *if_lookup_address (struct in_addr); -/* Currently, the code assumes that the interface name arguments to these - functions have length <= INTERFACE_NAMSIZ, and they must be NUL-terminated - if they are shorter than INTERFACE_NAMSIZ.
