Subject: Aprove: M_ZERO cyg_net_malloc flag
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 07:51:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030429075123.GY21714@biferten.ma.tech.ascom.ch> (raw)

Aprovel request for the 2.0 branch:

Name: M_ZERO flag for cyg_net_malloc()

Purpose: The bsd_tcpip MALLOC macro can pass the flag
M_ZERO. cyg_net_malloc ignores this so leaving random junk in the
memory returned. This can then cause calls like getpeername and
getsockname to return sockaddr with junk in there tails. When such a
sockaddr is then passed back into the stack with a bind call, the bind
fails because of the junk.

Risk: Small.

Affected packages: bsd_tcpip and anything depending on it.
