[issue18564] Integer overflow in socketmodule

[Michele Orrù]

Michele Orrù added the comment:

Interestingly, <bluetooth/bluetooth.h> implements a function for parsing bluetooth addresses, but it's completely broken.

It would be much much more elegant to use str2ba() in our source code though.

I am thinking about patching it there and then open another ticket here in order to adopt str2ba(). This way we can close this ticket for now.
Does this sound reasonable to you, Antoine?
