It does look sketchy:
if (pbs_left(n_pbs) >= sizeof(disp_buf)-1)
disp_len = sizeof(disp_buf)-1;
else
disp_len = pbs_left(n_pbs);
memcpy(disp_buf, n_pbs->cur, disp_len);
disp_buf[disp_len] = '\0';
loglog(RC_LOG_SERIOUS, "received and ignored informational message");
It is used to set the maximum size of the informational message?
It copies at most 200 characters? But then it is not actually using it
in the log line.
The code moved from demux.c to ikev1.c to support ikev2, but it had the
same problem in the original code (git commit 67548e95)
