Hi all,
I've been working on an effort to override some (libc) /getaddrinfo()/
calls into /ares_getaddrinfo()/ calls (see recent mail regarding
LD_PRELOAD). I notice that in some cases, /getaddrinfo()/ is getting
passed a null /node/ pointer. In the docs for the function, it states that:
"Either/node/ or/service/, but not both, may be NULL."
and that:
"If/node/ is NULL, then the network address will be set to the loopback interface
address ..."
Now in the /ares_getaddrinfo() /docs, the equivalent behavior of passing
in a null /name/ pointer is undefined. And I'm seeing the following
segfault splat when a null /name/ pointer is used:
#0 __strchr_avx2 () at ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strchr-avx2.S:65
#1 0x00007f3e02488848 in ares__single_domain (channel=0x1daa7f0, name=0x0,
s=0x7ffc98f50608) at ares_search.c:288
#2 0x00007f3e0247ec49 in ares_getaddrinfo_int (channel=0x1daa7f0, name=0x0,
service=0x7ffc98f50912 "5201",
hints=0x7ffc98f507e0, callback=0x7f3e0266a376 <ai_callback>,
arg=0x7ffc98f50918) at ares_getaddrinfo.c:568
#3 0x00007f3e0247f14e in ares_getaddrinfo (channel=0x1daa7f0, name=0x0,
service=0x7ffc98f50912 "5201",
hints=0x7ffc98f507e0, callback=0x7f3e0266a376 <ai_callback>,
arg=0x7ffc98f50918) at ares_getaddrinfo.c:681
#4 0x00007f3e0266a9fb in getaddrinfo (libc_node=0x0, libc_service=0x7ffc98f50912
"5201", libc_hints=0x7ffc98f50920,
libc_res=0x7ffc98f50918) at intercept.c:158
So I was curious, what is the expected behavior when a null /name/
pointer is passed into /ares_getaddrinfo()/?
Thanks,
Carson
