Hi.
Just got a build failure with recent gcc with enabled option FORTIFY_SOURCE=2:
In function 'strncpy', inlined from 'rip_outgoing_authentication' at ../../../proto/rip/auth.c:134:5: /usr/include/bits/string3.h:120:10: error: call to __builtin___strncpy_chk will always overflow destination buff
There is proto/rip/auth.c:134:
strncpy( (char *) (&block->packetlen), passwd->password, 16);
destination packetlen is u16, so gcc thinks it is overflow.
Is it possible to change strncpy with memcpy?
No, memcpy would not work. You could replace '(char *) (&block->packetlen)' with: (char *) block + OFFSETOF(struct rip_block_auth, packetlen) -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
