Error description
When soreceive is called, the 2nd argument is a pointer to an address which should be filled in with the source address of the packet. The symptom is the address is now filled in with a part of the data from the packet. One symptom is SNA Enterprise Extender (EE) links fail to activate.
Local fix
Problem summary
When a customer uses soreceive( ) in their own kernel extension to receive UDP data and Source IP address, soreceive() returns invalid source IP address. This causes UDP communication failure. The failure would be seen only in limited AIX releases.
Problem conclusion
Code is modified to return correct source IP address when soreceive is called to read the UDP data and source IP address.
