Potential fix for https://github.com/irino/softflowd/security/code-scanning/13
Use loopback-only binding for the probe socket in
run_nfdump_captureso the ephemeral port is allocated on a local interface only.Best minimal fix (no behavior change intended):
tools/softflowd_test_collector.py, functionrun_nfdump_capture, change:probe.bind(("0.0.0.0", 0))probe.bind(("127.0.0.1", 0))Why this is best:
-n 127.0.0.1:{port}).Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
