Hi,

I came across this and believe it is a bug.

I have found that when you set str to an IPv4 addr of the from
"xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' while the address family is AF_INET6, then instead of
returning a 0 to indicate an invalid IPv6 string, it is converted to
gibberish.

inet_pton(AF_INET6, "192.168.1.1', &sa) should return 0 if I understand the
specification correctly.

Regards
Paul

From what I can tell, it's not converted to gibberish; instead, it's
wrongly returning an error (-1) instead of a result indicating an
invalid input string (0). One could argue that it's a programming
error not to check this, but inet_pton should not have any reason to
return -1 if the first argument (af) is valid, so one could also argue
that such checks would be extraneous bloat.

Agreed.

Hi Rich,

I agree with you, especially about the bloat part.

They (haproxy) actually use this function to determine whether the address
they have is a valid IPv6 address.
They pass in either a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address and then rely on this
function to determine which they have (assuming a return value of 0).

After reading the spec more carefully I realise that -1 should be returned
only when the address family is not AF_INET or AF_INET6.

By changing the return value in the IPv6 code to 0 instead of -1, we could
get the correct behaviour without any extra code.

Here is a patch to try and save you a bit of work:

Hi Rich,

Unfortunately this is not the complete fix.

Haproxy still complains about invalid networks.
