vext01 added a comment to T5104: Consider removing %n uses from printf-like functions.

Fair enough with regards to portability, and this is not a hill I will die on, but can you comment on the security concerns of using %n?

So is 380bce13d94f the correct fix? If so, I will update the OpenBSD port including this as a local patch.

I confirm that applying the patch fixes the hang under a VM, and does not adversely affect running on a bare metal machine either.

Here are a couple of traces of the hanging t-protect test under the VM. I just let it run for a bit under gdb and pressed ctrl+c on a couple of occasions:

vext01 added a comment to T2107: dirmngr crash when searching keyservers on OpenBSD.

No problem!

Regarding ipv6. It's not that my OS doesn't support it, it's that the network I
am currently connected to (on my laptop) is not providing IPv6. There's nothing
to say that I won't move to another network that does.

Detecting IPv6 capability would be useful, but (I think) difficult. Especially
since I can move between networks in the lifetime of a single dirmngr. If I move
from a network *without* IPv6 to a network *with* IPv6, should dirmngr realise
and re-enable IPv6?

Anyway, we should open a new bug for this?

P.S.

The fix is applied to OpenBSD ports 2.1.8.

Cheers

The unusable hosts is a separate issue. I don't have IPv6 connectivity. I can
work around this by using the ipv4 sks pool.

OK, I think the crash is a use-after free, caused by a realloc followed by a use
of the old dangling pointer.

The following patch fixes this. Can someone on the GPG team review and commit
this for me? I can deal with fixing this in the OpenBSD ports tree. Thanks.

Seems like it doesn't crash with malloc flags on (which is weird). I'm not sure
how dirmngr is supposed to work, but from what i gather the SKS pool has loads
of broken hosts. I've not gotten a working one yet. Surely this can't be right?
