Hi Daniel and Vadim
Thanks for your prompt response and for the patch.
Also, what about the other one? Do you think it is an issue or not?
" File: tc/tc_util.c
Function: void print_rate(char *buf, int len, __u64 rate)
Line: ~264
In the case that user inputs a high value for rate, the "for" loop will exit in the condition meaning
that variable "i" get the value of 5 which will be an invalid index for the "units" array due
to that array has only 5 elements."
I know a very high value is invalid but in the case that it comes directly from
user, it could cause and issue, what do you think?
Hm, this prints just the netlink dump from kernel side, but perhaps
we should just change it ...
