Trac Migrate created an issue: https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/pkg/rtems-net-legacy/-/issues/18
Assignee: Trac Migrate Original author: Sal DHCP requests add the hostname option in dhcp_request_req() without checking its length, so the hostname can be of any length. This is a defect because the DHCP spec (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2132) requires the hostname to have a minimum length of 1 char. This appears to trigger a bug in a specific Netgear router that causes it's DHCP process to lock up and could affect other things as well. This bug can be solved applying the patch made by Aun-Ali Zaidi in the original ticket reporting this defect (https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/1405) that was never applied. I've been able to compile the code with the patch applied and it didn't raise any warnings. Original ticket: https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/1405 * [0001-libnetworking-rtems_dhcp.c-Fix-improper-hostname-han.2-3.patch](/assets/tracmigration/ticket_attachments/0001-libnetworking-rtems_dhcp.c-Fix-improper-hostname-han.2-3.patch) -- View it on GitLab: https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/pkg/rtems-net-legacy/-/issues/18 You're receiving this email because of your account on gitlab.rtems.org.
