hi there,
i don't see a security issue in this, just want to ask if this is ok (or
maybe unwanted?):
in src/usr.sbin/arp/arp.c in function search() (starts line ~429) i see
this (line ~447):
if ((buf = malloc(needed)) == NULL)
got from:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/arp/arp.c?rev=1.29&conte
nt-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
which should be latest version(?)
this allocated memory isn't free'd later in this function. so if arp uses
this function over and over again, memory fills up (not much, but it does).
i just came to this, because i used this search() function while playing
around with ip -> mac translation and my test programm suddenly had ~60MB
memory usage :)
