[libvirt PATCH] nwfilter: Fix timeout data type reported by coverity
Posted by Erik Skultety 3 years, 5 months ago 
Coverity reports:
    virNWFilterSnoopIPLeaseUpdate(virNWFilterSnoopIPLease *ipl,
                                  time_t timeout)
    {
        if (timeout < ipl->timeout)
            return;  /* no take-backs */

        virNWFilterSnoopIPLeaseTimerDel(ipl);
 >>> CID 396747:  High impact quality  (Y2K38_SAFETY)
 >>> A "time_t" value is stored in an integer with too few bits
     to accommodate it. The expression "timeout" is cast to
     "unsigned int".
        ipl->timeout = timeout;
        virNWFilterSnoopIPLeaseTimerAdd(ipl);
    }

This is a safe fix, since time_t is just long int and scales
automatically with platform (more specifically it's 64bit on all
platforms we care about).

Doesn't this use of ->timeout need to be typecasted? I mean, we are not
guaranteed that time_t is unsigned long. Elsewhere in the code we even
typecast to long long.

Yes, this would fail on 32-bit builds I believe.
