Maximum allowed data bytes length should be 130768 and not 131024. EXTRA bytes is not accounted while calculating packet length.
This happens because memory gets over-written by 256 bytes beyond the outpack buffer in to memory arena. >How-To-Repeat: Execute Ping6 with -s option with a value of 131024. Verify if the application has crashed. >Fix: Account EXTRA bytes in packet length. freebsd/sbin/ping6/ping6.c - #define MAXDATALEN MAXPACKETLEN - IP6LEN - ICMP6ECHOLEN +#define MAXDATALEN MAXPACKETLEN - IP6LEN - ICMP6ECHOLEN - EXTRA >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
