Summary0001565: Ambiguous which length addr_len is set to
DescriptionMultiple socket functions have a socklen_t* address_len parameter that on output is specified to point to the length of the "stored address". However the length of the stored address is ambiguous because these functions are specified to truncate the stored address if the given buffer is too small, leaving it unclear whether the stored length is supposed to be the length before or after truncation.

This wording came from 0000464 where the description states that the length before truncation is intended.
Desired ActionOn page 568 line 19869 section accept, change
stored address
to
address of the connecting socket


On page 1066 line 36257 section getpeername, change
stored address
to
peer address


On page 1095 line 37100 section getsockname, change
stored address
to
socket address


On page 1796 line 58151 section recvfrom, change
stored address
to
sending address


On page 1800 line 58259 section recvmsg, change
stored address
to
source address
