[Bug libc/10195] New: nd_opt_home_agent_info.nd_opt_home_agent_info_preference declared as an int16_t instead of uint16_t

[Bug libc/10195] New: nd_opt_home_agent_info.nd_opt_home_agent_info_preference declared as an int16_t instead of uint16_t

[arno at natisbad dot org]

netinet/icmpv6.h implements the structure associated with MIPv6 Home Agent
Information Option (struct nd_opt_home_agent_info). It was added by commit 959eb65d.

The option is defined in section 7.4 of RFC 3775. It contains a "Home Agent
Preference" field defined as a "16-bit unsigned integer".

The associated field (nd_opt_home_agent_info_preference) in
nd_opt_homeagent_info is defined as an int16_t.

It should be a uint16_t.

Cheers,

a+

ps: I checked the sources of RADVD (Linux Router Advertisement daemon). It
redefines a structure for the option. The field is an unsigned. Same thing in
UMIP (Linux Mobile IPv6 daemon).
