[PATCH] nss: Improve network number parsers (bz 32573, 32575)

Tobias Stoeckmann tobias@stoeckmann.org
Wed Feb 12 18:46:06 GMT 2025


Make sure that numbers never overflow uint32_t in inet_network to
properly validate octets encountered in IPv4 addresses.

Avoid malloca in NSS networks file code because /etc/networks lines
can be arbitrarily long. Instead of handcrafting the input for
inet_network by adding ".0" octets if they are missing, just left shift
the result. Also, do not accept invalid entries, but ignore the line
instead.
