Subject: [PATCH iptables] libxtables: Fix xtables_ipaddr_to_numeric calls with xtables_ipmask_to_numeric
Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2024 06:06:41 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240323030641.988354-1-vt@altlinux.org> (raw)

Frequently when addr/mask is printed xtables_ipaddr_to_numeric and
xtables_ipmask_to_numeric are called together in one printf call but
xtables_ipmask_to_numeric internally calls xtables_ipaddr_to_numeric
which prints into the same static buffer causing buffer to be
overwritten and addr/mask incorrectly printed in such call scenarios.

Make xtables_ipaddr_to_numeric to use two static buffers rotating their
use. This simplistic approach will leave ABI not changed and cover all
such use cases.

Interestingly, testing stumbled over this only on non-x86 architectures.
Error message:

  extensions/libebt_arp.t: ERROR: line 11 (cannot find: ebtables -I INPUT -p ARP --arp-ip-src ! 1.2.3.4/255.0.255.255)
