[PATCH] net: ipv6: rpl_iptunnel: Replace 0-length arrays with flexible arrays

From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Jan 05 2023 - 17:15:52 EST


Zero-length arrays are deprecated[1]. Replace struct ipv6_rpl_sr_hdr's
"segments" union of 0-length arrays with flexible arrays. Detected with
GCC 13, using -fstrict-flex-arrays=3:

In function 'rpl_validate_srh',
inlined from 'rpl_build_state' at ../net/ipv6/rpl_iptunnel.c:96:7:
../net/ipv6/rpl_iptunnel.c:60:28: warning: array subscript <unknown> is outside array bounds of 'struct in6_addr[0]' [-Warray-bounds=]
60 | if (ipv6_addr_type(&srh->rpl_segaddr[srh->segments_left - 1]) &
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from ../include/net/rpl.h:12,
from ../net/ipv6/rpl_iptunnel.c:13:
../include/uapi/linux/rpl.h: In function 'rpl_build_state':
../include/uapi/linux/rpl.h:40:33: note: while referencing 'addr'
40 | struct in6_addr addr[0];
