From 7e7c1896a06e98fe7d5a49958cdca1613e92903e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Giorgos Keramidas Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2009 19:33:04 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Sometimes, depending on the bpf filter rules used in $PATTERN, the example script of the manpage feeds awk(1) with values larger than UINT32_MAX. Then awk prints a negative value, and this messes up $BPFPROG. Trying to load the resulting bpf byte codes with ngctl then fails. For example, the output for PATTERN="udp and dst net 255.255.0.0/16" should be (all in one line): bpf_prog_len=10 bpf_prog=[ { code=40 jt=0 jf=0 k=12 } { code=21 jt=7 jf=0 k=34525 } { code=21 jt=0 jf=6 k=2048 } { code=48 jt=0 jf=0 k=23 } { code=21 jt=0 jf=4 k=17 } { code=32 jt=0 jf=0 k=30 } { code=84 jt=0 jf=0 k=4294901760 } { code=21 jt=0 jf=1 k=4294901760 } { code=6 jt=0 jf=0 k=8192 } { code=6 jt=0 jf=0 k=0 } ] The two k=4294901760 values are displayed as k=-2147483648 by awk. Replace the awk script of the manpage example with a slower but safer version, that doesn't really attempt to convert the byte code printed by tcpdump from string to number and back.
