Subject: [rpms/mstflint] rawhide: add rpminspect.yaml to waive badfuncs for mstmtserver
Date: Fri, 07 Aug 2026 13:39:58 GMT	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <178610999807.1.5349237236600099190.rpms-mstflint-e8e178cc192f@fedoraproject.org> (raw)

            A new commit has been pushed.

            Log:
            add rpminspect.yaml to waive badfuncs for mstmtserver

The badfuncs test of rpminspect reports:
/usr/bin/mstmtserver may use forbidden functions on x86_64
Forbidden function symbols found:
	gethostbyaddr
	inet_ntoa

I considered converting the code to getaddrinfo(), etc., but I wouldn't
be able to test it, because the open source mstflint utilities do not
contain code to connect to the server and I am not doing this to benefit
the proprietary MFT from DOCA-OFED.
