ipset: usage of unitialized variable ip_to in ip_set_hash_ipportnet.c

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,


in file et/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_hash_ipportnet.c
in functionhash_ipportnet4_uadt(...)
variable u32 ip_to, can be used uninitialized
in line 283
	for (; !before(ip_to, ip); ip++) {

because, if both tb[IPSET_ATTR_IP_TO] and tb[IPSET_ATTR_CIDR]
are false, then there is no initialization of ip_to.

  CC [M]  net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_hash_ipportnet.o
net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_hash_ipportnet.c: In function ‘hash_ipportnet4_uadt’:
include/net/tcp.h:266:28: warning: ‘ip_to’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_hash_ipportnet.c:187:10: note: ‘ip_to’ was declared here


I think this should be fixed be properly initializing / using ip_to,
or by telling compiler that some of paths will end in initialization.


Also why on earth a before(a,b) function is used
to compare IP addresses? Shouldn't before(seq1,seq2) function
be used only to compare TCP sequnce numbers?!

Regards,
Witek
