>Environment:
System : OpenBSD -current Architecture: OpenBSD.i386 Machine : i386
>Description:
Dhcpd aborts when starting, and leaves this message in the log "stack overflow in function subnet_inner_than". According to a post on misc@ this is because propolice caught a buffer overflow at runtime.
>How-To-Repeat:
my machine has 3 network interfaces - one facing the cable modem, one for the wireless net and one for the wired net. i use the following dhcpd.conf, and start dhcpd with no flags. subnet 24.86.200.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 { } subnet 172.25.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option routers 172.25.0.1; range 172.25.0.32 172.25.0.254; option domain-name-servers 24.70.95.195, 24.70.95.212, 129.128.5.233; } subnet 172.31.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option routers 172.31.0.1; range 172.31.0.32 172.31.0.254; option domain-name "mainframe.cx"; option domain-name-servers 24.70.95.195, 24.70.95.212, 129.128.5.233; }
>Fix:
