From: Sebastien Tardif via GitGitGadget Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 15:46:29 GMT Subject: [PATCH 0/3] daemon: fix network address handling bugs Message-ID: Fix three related issues in daemon.c's network address handling: IPv6 address corruption in lookup_hostname(): getaddrinfo() is called with AF_UNSPEC hints, so it may return IPv6 results. However, the code unconditionally casts ai_addr to sockaddr_in and passes AF_INET to inet_ntop(). On IPv6-only hosts, this reads from the wrong struct offset, producing garbage IP addresses. Fixed by checking ai_family and handling both AF_INET and AF_INET6. IPv6 address truncation in ip2str(): The sockaddr struct size (ai_addrlen) is passed as the output buffer size to inet_ntop(). For IPv6, sizeof(sockaddr_in6) is 28 bytes but INET6_ADDRSTRLEN is 46, so long IPv6 addresses are silently truncated. Fixed by passing sizeof(ip) instead, and dropping the now-unused len parameter. NULL pointer in execute() logging: REMOTE_PORT environment variable is used in a format string without a NULL check (only REMOTE_ADDR was checked). If REMOTE_PORT is unset, NULL is passed to printf's %s, which is undefined behavior. Fixed by using a fallback string.
