Description Konstantin Volkov 2013-07-15 16:13:04 UTC
Description of problem:

snmp_set_var_typed_value function for ASN_IPADDRESS sets wrong size

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
net-snmp-5.5-44.el6_4.2

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Call snmp_set_var_typed_value() with ip address in args for ASN_IPADDRESS to build a trap
2. send the trap
3. sink cannot parse the packet

Actual results:
4

Expected results:
sizeof(in_addr_t)

Additional info:
Previous version was OK (net-snmp-5.5-44.el6_4.1), net-snmp-5.5-ber-int-size.patch brokes the lib:

---
-        case ASN_OCTET_STR:
         case ASN_IPADDRESS:
+            if (vp->val_len != 4)
+                return -1;
+            /* fallthrough */
+        case ASN_OCTET_STR:
         case ASN_OPAQUE:
         case ASN_NSAP:
             if (vp->val_len < sizeof(vp->buf)) {
---

should be

if (vp->val_len != sizeof(in_addr_t))

Pardon my ignorance, but on which architecture is sizeof(in_addr_t) != 4 ?

Comment 3 Konstantin Volkov 2013-08-12 13:24:23 UTC
Of cause, sizeof(in_addr_t) always = 4.

In our code we passed next:

---
u_long n = htonl(src_);
snmp_set_var_typed_value(&dst_, ASN_IPADDRESS, (u_char* )&n, sizeof(n));
---

and it works OK with previous net_snmp version.

My fault, please close.

Thanks for the clarification, closing.
