inet[46]_pton check the input length against a sane length limit (INET[6]_ADDRSTRLEN), but the strlen value gets truncated due to being stored in an int, so there's a theoretical potential for a >4G string to pass the limit test. Use size_t since that's what strlen actually returns. I've had a hunt for callers that could hit this, but I've not managed to find anything that doesn't get checked with some other limit first; but it's possible that I've missed something in the depth of the storage target paths.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
