Package: dhcp3
Version: 3.0.4-8
Severity: normal
Hello,
recently I discovered the following bit of code in the source file
dhcp3-3.0.4/common/discover.c (around line 941):
isc_result_t dhcp_interface_stuff_values (omapi_object_t *c,
omapi_object_t *id,
omapi_object_t *h)
{
struct interface_info *interface;
...
if (interface -> flags && INTERFACE_REQUESTED)
status = omapi_connection_put_string (c, "up");
...
}
Looking at include/dhcpd.h it is clear that flags is meant to be a bit
field:
struct interface_info {
...
u_int32_t flags; /* Control flags... */
#define INTERFACE_REQUESTED 1
#define INTERFACE_AUTOMATIC 2
#define INTERFACE_RUNNING 4
...
}
Thus it seems that the intended test was the bit test
if (interface -> flags & INTERFACE_REQUESTED)
status = omapi_connection_put_string (c, "up");
I do not know what the implications of this bug are, but I guess it
should be fixed anyway.
I hope this helps,
Jochen
