Fix dhcp option buffer issue (sonic-net#12033)
Why I did it Current isc-dhcp uses below code to remove DHCP option: memmove(sp, op, op[1] + 2); sp += op[1] + 2; sp points to the option to be stripped, we can call it as option S. op points to the option after options S, we can call it as option O. DHCP option is a typical type-length-value structure, the first byte is type, the second byte is length, and remain parts are value. In this case, option O length is bigger than option S, and more than 2 bytes, after the memmove, we will get this result: Now Option S and Option O are overwritten, op[1] was the length of Option O, and it's modified after memmove. But current implementation is still using op[1] as length to update sp (sp+=op[1]+2), so we get the wrong sp. How I did it Create patch from https://github.com/isc-projects/dhcp The new impelementation use mlen to store the length of Option O before memmove, that's how it fixed the bug. size_t mlen = op[1] + 2; memmove(sp, op, mlen); sp += mlen; How to verify it I have a PR for sonic-mgmt to cover this issue: sonic-net/sonic-mgmt#6330 Signed-off-by: Gang Lv ganglv@microsoft.com
