Thomas Berger reported that he is seeing garbage after some valid string values, eg. fwtest01 ~ # nft -i nft> table filter nft> add chain filter input nft> add rule filter input meta iifname "lo" accept nft> list table filter table ip filter { chain input { meta iifname "lo�.�" accept } ... The buffer that the string datatype was allocating did not include room for the nul-terminator.
