[Dnsmasq-discuss] string dhcp options

[Matthias Lay]

Hi,

I noticed there is a ending zero in dhcp options replys. Just wanted to
check if this is intended.

my test was


dhcp-option=tag:2,option:66,"fake2quoted"

the reply to a request looks like that in tcpdump

 TFTP (66), length 12: "fake2quoted^@"

it includes an \x00 at the end of the string and in the length of the
option. Looks suspicious to me.
