The current method of moving around the sockaddr data causes compile time buffer overflow warnings:
by doing the following:
create a temp
sockaddrstruct pointer that is used in calling parse_urimemcpy0's over the struct usingsizeofasockaddr_inorsockaddr_in6(which is larger and causes the buffer overflow warning)then upon return
create a
mca_oob_tcp_addr_tobjectmemcpythe originalsockaddrstruct overmca_oob_tcp_addr_t->addr(which is asockaddr_storagestruct)Instead this patch simplifies the process by creating the
mca_oob_tcp_addrobject first, then passes the pointer to itssockaddr_storagestruct so theparse_uricopies in the data directly.
