Public bug reported:
When using the IPv4Network.Supernet() call, the resulting address is
calculated incorrectly. Instead of presenting the all-zeros address in
the host part, the first bit of the host part is kept as it was, causing
an incorrect address to be displayed. This only appears to be a display
issue, the network objects behave as they should (at least for the
equality operator).
The following python program can be used to see the issue.
from sys import argv
import ipaddr
ip1 = ipaddr.IPv4Network(argv[1])
ip2 = ipaddr.IPv4Network(argv[2])
print "Testing ", str(ip1), str(ip2)
while ip1 != ip2:
print ip1,ip2
ip1 = ip1.Supernet()
ip2 = ip2.Supernet()
print "Ending ", ip2
This program takes two addresses and attempts to find the network in
common, using the Supernet call to locate it. However, below is the
output of the program.
$ python ipaddr-bug-test.py 10.53.45.24 10.53.45.255
Testing 10.53.45.24/32 10.53.45.255/32
10.53.45.24/32 10.53.45.255/32
10.53.45.24/31 10.53.45.255/31
10.53.45.24/30 10.53.45.254/30
10.53.45.24/29 10.53.45.252/29
10.53.45.24/28 10.53.45.248/28
10.53.45.16/27 10.53.45.240/27
10.53.45.0/26 10.53.45.224/26
10.53.45.0/25 10.53.45.192/25
Ending 10.53.45.128/24
Note how the program correctly shows the /32 addresses, but when getting
the supernet for the second address, it mistakenly shows 10.53.45.255/31
when the correct value should have been 10.53.45.254/31. The same
happens in all the stages, and is very obvious when doing the
computation on a broadcast address. Finally, the address is constructed
with the wrong network address.
