[RFC] sandbox: prevent segfault in tap_alloc()

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

 



Tap network interface initialization in sandbox
barebox leads to segfault under Debian Buster/Sid.

The problem is that strcpy(dev, ifr.ifr_name) inside
tap_alloc() tries to alter read-only data passed
by tap_probe() and barebox receives SIGSEGV.
