From 1f420318bda3cc62156e89e1b56d60cc744b48ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matteo Croce Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2019 20:04:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] utils: don't match empty strings as prefixes iproute has an utility function which checks if a string is a prefix for another one, to allow use of abbreviated commands, e.g. 'addr' or 'a' instead of 'address'. This routine unfortunately considers an empty string as prefix of any pattern, leading to undefined behaviour when an empty argument is passed to ip: # ip '' 1: lo: mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever # tc '' qdisc noqueue 0: dev lo root refcnt 2 # ip address add 192.0.2.0/24 '' 198.51.100.1 dev dummy0 # ip addr show dev dummy0 6: dummy0: mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 02:9d:5e:e9:3f:c0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.0.2.0/24 brd 198.51.100.1 scope global dummy0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Rewrite matches() so it takes care of an empty input, and doesn't scan the input strings three times: the actual implementation does 2 strlen and a memcpy to accomplish the same task.
