Kea DB allows to store too short identifier in the lease table
While performing some experiments in Stork, I found that the Kea database accepts identifiers that are too short (less than 3 bytes) in the lease6
table. It causes the error to be thrown when the identifier is processed. I noticed it blocks fetching this lease by API. I don't know if it has any other internal consequences.
Steps to reproduce:
- Setup Kea 2.3.8 or above with PostgreSQL.
- Configure lease database.
- Insert a lease with too short DUID (e.g.,
00
)
INSERT INTO lease6(address, duid, valid_lifetime, expire, subnet_id, pref_lifetime, lease_type, iaid, prefix_len, hwtype, hwaddr_source, state) VALUES('3001:db8:1::2', DECODE('00', 'hex'), 3600, NOW() + interval '1' MONTH, 1, 1800, 0, 1, 128, 0, 0, 1);
- Send the
lease-get
command with the specified address (i.e.,3001:db8:1::2
). - Observe the error:
