Subject: [PATCH 8/8] Fix a segfault in nscd when using nss-myhostname
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Nscd expects that an NSS module's gethostbyname4_r function returns
its first result in the pre-allocated gaih_addrtuple denoted by **pat.
(See nscd/aicache.c in the Glibc sources.) However, nss-myhostname
doesn't fill in **pat but allocates the first result in buffer, then
sets *pat. So nscd crashes (e.g. when running getent ahosts
my-machine).
Hard to tell if this is a bug in nscd, since there doesn't seem to be
a proper API spec for gethostbyname4_r. But in any case, this patch
fixes the crash by copying the first result to **pat.
