ip: Enforce strict aliasing

Sometimes ipq were casted to ipasfrag, and the original and casted
pointer were used simultaneously in ip_reass(). GCC 12.1.0 assumes
these pointers are not aliases, and therefore incorrectly the pointed
data will not be modified when it is actually modified with another
pointer.

To fix this problem, introduce a new type "ipas", which is a universal
type denoting an entry in the assembly queue and contains union for
specialization as queue head (frequently referred as "q" or "ipq" in
the source code) or IP fragment ("f" or "ipf").

This bug was found by Alexander Bulekov when fuzzing QEMU:

libslirp

libslirp is a user-mode networking library used by virtual machines, containers or various tools.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

A C compiler, meson and glib2 development libraries.

(see also .gitlab-ci.yml DEPS variable for the list of dependencies on Fedora)

Building

You may build and install the shared library with meson:

meson build
ninja -C build install

And configure QEMU with --enable-slirp=system to link against it.

(QEMU may build with the submodule static library using --enable-slirp=git)

Testing

Unfortunately, there are no automated tests available.

You may run QEMU -net user linked with your development version.

Contributing

Feel free to open issues on the project issues page.

You may clone the gitlab project and create a merge request.

Contributing with gitlab allows gitlab workflow, tracking issues, running CI etc.

Alternatively, you may send patches to slirp@lists.freedesktop.org mailing list.

Versioning

We intend to use libtool's versioning for the shared libraries and use SemVer for project versions.

For the versions available, see the tags on this repository.
