Hi all,
this is concerning the ubox package. If there is a more specific mailing list/issue tracker for this, please tell me so. We have found that the during validation of an NTP server in [1], the validation as “host” fails if the “host” is a link-local IPv6 address. If you track the issue through the various wrappers, it narrows down to inet_pton(AF_INET6, s->value, &a); in [2]. Eventually, the problem is inet_pton not understanding the scope ID present in a link-local IPv6 address. From googling how to address this, a possible solution would be a switch to getaddrinfo [3]. Another (less desirable) solution would be to just split at the % and then only validate the left part; however, I cannot judge whether this is easy to do in C. Since I’m not very confident about my C capabilities and I did not find a way to build the ubox package separately (for testing), I hope someone is interested in having a look into this.
