RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

The string values are truncated to 4 characters.

--- Additional comment from John Dennis on 2014-02-21 17:13:55 EST ---

in src/lib/print.c the vp_prints_value function is defined like this:

size_t vp_prints_value(char *out, size_t outlen, VALUE_PAIR const *vp, int8_t quote)

which at some point does this:

return fr_print_string(vp->vp_strvalue, vp->length, out, sizeof(out));

Note the length field of fr_print_string is passed as sizeof(out),
but out is a pointer, on a system whose pointers are 4 bytes the maximum
string emitted will be 4 characters.

The correct length to pass is the outlen parameter.
