The aim of virSocketAddrPrefixToNetmask() is to initialize passed virSocketAddr structure based on prefix length and family. However, it doesn't set all members in the struct which may lead to reads of uninitialized values: ==15421== Use of uninitialised value of size 8 ==15421== at 0x50F297A: _itoa_word (in /lib64/libc-2.31.so) ==15421== by 0x510C8FE: __vfprintf_internal (in /lib64/libc-2.31.so) ==15421== by 0x5120295: __vsnprintf_internal (in /lib64/libc-2.31.so) ==15421== by 0x50F8969: snprintf (in /lib64/libc-2.31.so) ==15421== by 0x51BB602: getnameinfo (in /lib64/libc-2.31.so) ==15421== by 0x496DEE0: virSocketAddrFormatFull (virsocketaddr.c:486) ==15421== by 0x496DD9F: virSocketAddrFormat (virsocketaddr.c:444) ==15421== by 0x11871F: networkDnsmasqConfContents (bridge_driver.c:1404) ==15421== by 0x1118F5: testCompareXMLToConfFiles (networkxml2conftest.c:48) ==15421== by 0x111BAF: testCompareXMLToConfHelper (networkxml2conftest.c:112) ==15421== by 0x112679: virTestRun (testutils.c:142) ==15421== by 0x111D09: mymain (networkxml2conftest.c:144) ==15421== Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation ==15421== at 0x1175D2: networkDnsmasqConfContents (bridge_driver.c:1056) All callers expect the function to initialize the structure fully.
