Subject: daemon: fix IPv6 address truncation in ip2str()
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/index.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=30c8fda1ab6d55d3b0129bb1686c23bf06cd5b0d;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

daemon: fix IPv6 address truncation in ip2str()

The sockaddr struct size (ai_addrlen) is passed as the output buffer
size to inet_ntop(). For IPv6, sizeof(sockaddr_in6) is 28 bytes but
INET6_ADDRSTRLEN is 46, so long IPv6 addresses are silently truncated.

Fix this by passing sizeof(ip) instead, which is the actual size of
the destination buffer. Drop the now-unused len parameter from
ip2str() and update all callers.
