Bug#508110: netstat: uninitialized sin6_scope_id leads to wrong output

[Marco Steinacher]

Hi,

I noticed that problem as well and I think it's a bug. The fields
'sin6_scope_id' and 'sin6_flowinfo' of the sockaddr_in6 structure are
not initialized (e.g. for remaddr in netstat.c:tcp_do_one()). Therefore
 getnameinfo() returns '<address>%<scope>' with an arbitrary <scope> for
addresses that can't be resolved.

I suggest to apply the attached patch against net-tools-1.60/lib/inet6.c
to fix the problem.

Marco
