connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(1080), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.0.5")}, 28) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)Note that in the first case the third argument to connect is 16 (sizeof struct sockaddr_in), but in the second case it is 28 (sizeof struct sockaddr_in6). While the base kernel allows larger sizes than (sizeof struct sockaddr_in), SELinux performs additional checks which prohibit this, see e.g. #158234.
Aha.
Can anyone tell me why this is _not_ a kernel bug?It does break existing applications, but the definite specification is probably SUSv3, which seems to allow this behavior. Mirek
Well, sockaddr_in already has some padding right off the bat… But, mystery solved anyway…
