From 7c63f4f5a9983f9b81d90cfdf09e6fca0cfbf52d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jo-Philipp Wich Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2014 19:49:53 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] utils: fix invalid memory access in fw3_bitlen2netmask() When fw3_bitlen2netmask() is invoked with a bit length of 128, the next byte after the end of struct in6_addr is errorneously zeroed, leading to a heap corruption on at least x86_64 with uclibc and possibly others. Prevent the invalid writes by explicitely testing for a bit count < 128.
