Subject: RE: [PATCH iproute2] ss: Fix allocation of cong control alg name
Hi Daniel and Vadim
Thanks for your prompt response and for the patch.
Also, what about the other one? Do you think it is an issue or not?
" File: tc/tc_util.c
Function: void print_rate(char *buf, int len, __u64 rate)
Line: ~264
In the case that user inputs a high value for rate, the "for" loop will exit in the condition meaning that variable "i" get the value of 5 which will be an invalid index for the "units" array due to that array has only 5 elements."
I know a very high value is invalid but in the case that it comes directly from user, it could cause and issue, what do you think?
Thanks,
-José R.

Please also Cc the reporter (done here), and add a:
Fixes: 8250bc9ff4e5 ("ss: Unify inet sockets output")
Reported-by: Jose R. Guzman Mosqueda <jose.r.guzman.mosqueda@...el.com>
Fixes tag is _very useful_ for distros to easily identify if additional follow-up commits would be needed when backporting the original change.
Then, this can be easily identified when going through the git log.

strdup(3) can still return NULL.
