The function croak is variadic which expects as a first parameter printf-style format. Passing arbitrary and string from the caller as a printf format leads to the security problem CWE-134: Use of Externally-Controlled Format String.

Changes for version 1.97_002

  • Detect presence of sockaddr_in6 and ipv6_mreq; conditionally build pack/unpack functions on this

Changes for version 1.97_001

  • Back-compatibility improvements for older perls, back as far as 5.6.1 (thanks Zefram)
  • Fix for picky compilers or platforms on which size_t doesn't printf() correctly by %d
  • Suppress some harmless compile-time warnings about unused variables
