CEF parsing fails in IPV4 encoded IPv6 addresses in IPv6 CEF fields

[jdp1]

The java InetAddress Library does not return an Inet6Address type for IPv4 encoded addresses in IPv6 fields (c6a1, c6a2, c6a3, c6a4). In this situation, the parser throws an exception.

This condition happens with some devices where an IPv4 address is communicating to an IPv6 device.

Not sure I understand the issue?

[jdp1]

When an ipv6 key is set to a mapped ipv4 address, such as c6a3=0:0:0:0:0:ffff:a8e:6cc3

an IllegalArgumentException is thrown:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not set java.net.Inet6Address field com.fluenda.parcefone.event.CefRev23.c6a3 to java.net.Inet4Address
...

This logging happens with some McAfee Endpoint Security devices.

you should close this if it is resolved by the commit

Are you going to cut a release?

sure will!
