Status in Host Identity Protocol for Linux: Fix Committed Bug description: Thomas Jansen suspects that... HOST_ID parameters generated by HIPL are too big. Though they contain the actual public key of the host, they add surplus garbage to the parameter. Also, the FQDN part is not at the appropriate location as far as I could see. Either that, or Samu's wireshark patch needs some attention in that respect. ;) I'd suspect a length argument to a memcpy to be wrong, though I had no time to pinpoint the problem yet. It would be great if someone could take a look at a HOST_ID parameter produced by HIPL and confirm that it's actually wrong.
