Package: vde2
Version: 2.1.6+r154-1+b1
Severity: normal
In vdeq.c we have:
mode_t mode;
[...]
if (argc > 2 && (
(strcmp(argv[1],"--mod")==0) ||
(strcmp(argv[1],"-m")==0))
){
sscanf(argv[2],"%o",&mode);
argv+=2;
argc-=2;
}
[...]
for (i=0; i<nb_nics; i++) {
struct vde_open_args vdearg={ports[i],NULL,mode};
conn[i]=vde_open(sockname[i],"vdeqemu",&vdearg);
so if the user doesn't give the --mod or -m option vde_open gets called
with unitialised mode and so the socket gets chmoded to some
unpredictable mode, which will stop everything working of it happens not
to have write permission.
Fix is simple, initialise mode to zero on declaration.
