MAC addresses can be written without leading zeros. A popular example is libc's ether_ntoa_r function which creates such MAC addresses. Example: 00:14:3d:0f:ff:fe can be written as 0:14:3d:f:ff:fe Additionally, get_ether_addr potentially parsed past the end of the user provided string. Use the opportunity and fix the function to never parse beyond the end of the string while allowing MAC addresses with and without leading zeros.
