>Description:
Setting PKT_ALIAS_REVERSE in libalias results in infinite
recursion of alternating alias-in and alias-out functions.
alias.c in libalias has this code:
int
PacketAliasIn(char *ptr, int maxpacketsize)
{
struct in_addr alias_addr;
struct ip *pip;
int iresult;
if (packetAliasMode & PKT_ALIAS_REVERSE)
return PacketAliasOut(ptr, maxpacketsize);
...
int
PacketAliasOut(char *ptr, /* valid IP packet */
int maxpacketsize /* How much the packet data may grow
(FTP and IRC inline changes) */
)
{
int iresult;
struct in_addr addr_save;
struct ip *pip;
if (packetAliasMode & PKT_ALIAS_REVERSE)
return PacketAliasIn(ptr, maxpacketsize);
...
I noticed also that PKT_ALIAS_REVERSE is not documented int libalias.3.
>How-To-Repeat:
Adding "-reverse" to a natd setup results in a core dump.
