using the default /var/db/Makefile provided by glibc: cd /var/db rm -f *.db make then running a simple getaddrinfo() request: wget https://432020.bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=321736 -O test.c gcc test.c ./a.out <hang> seems like we trigger an infinite cpu loop somewhere in the look up logic (all details and example code provided by Maxim Kammerer) reproduced with glibc-2.15 and 2.16
I cannot reproduce that with 2.17. Does it still happen?
it is still hanging for me w/2.17. i am not running nscd. the Gentoo patchset is small, but lemme double check it fails on vanilla 2.17.
just tried latest master (357679d2fc567e8d6c030cf0f0fd54f6c31e23a3) and it still fails with the test case maybe the input /etc/services matters ? here's my /etc/services and services.db.
Created attachment 6819 [details] generated services.db
Created attachment 6820 [details] /etc/services
hmm, if i chop my /etc/services at line ~250 (first line to delete: cisco-fna), then i can build a services.db and the test case does not hang ...
Created attachment 7872 [details] two patches in one, both fixing the problem We use some code from nss_files in nss_db, and nss_files' code used “continue” to skip a non-matching proto, but in nss_db this bypassed the code to advance to the next entry. Both changes individually fix the problem; I'm undecided as to which one to go with, or maybe even go with both. Thoughts?

Skipping it here prevents libc_res_nquerydomain from duplicating the trailing dot, which would cause the domain name compression to fail. for ChangeLog [BZ #16469] * resolv/res_query.c (__libc_res_nsearch): Skip leading dot in search domain names. https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;h=f3d945d5f2b9d7d44032c461af588c6d54f5664b commit f3d945d5f2b9d7d44032c461af588c6d54f5664b Author: Alexandre Oliva <aoliva@redhat.com> Date: Sun Nov 9 13:51:09 2014 -0200 BZ#16469: don't drop trailing dot in res_nquerydomain(..., name, NULL, ...) If we drop it here, we will fail to detect a duplicate trailing dot later on. Retaining, OTOH, has no ill effects whatsoever, and it even saves us the trouble of copying the domain name minus the trailing dot, like we used to do. for ChangeLog [BZ #16469] * NEWS: Update. * resolv/res_query.c (__libc_res_nquerydomain): Retain trailing dot. * posix/tst-getaddrinfo5.c: New. * posix/Makefile (tests): Add it. https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;h=4969890247d7d6a548f17641ed5a18f4b713d211 commit 4969890247d7d6a548f17641ed5a18f4b713d211 Author: Alexandre Oliva <aoliva@redhat.com> Date: Fri Nov 21 03:29:56 2014 -0200 BZ#14498: fix infinite loop in nss_db_getservbyname nss_db uses nss_files code for services, but a continue on protocol mismatch that doesn't affect nss_files skipped the code that advanced to the next db entry. Any one of these changes would suffice to fix it, but fixing both makes them both safer to reuse elsewhere. for ChangeLog [BZ #14498] * NEWS: Fixed. * nss/nss_db/db-XXX.c (_nss_db_get##name##_r): Update hidx after parsing line but before break_if_match. * nss/nss_files/files-service (DB_LOOKUP): Don't "continue;" if there is a protocol mismatch. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary of changes: ChangeLog | 24 ++++++++++++++ NEWS | 8 ++-- nss/nss_db/db-XXX.c | 9 +++-- nss/nss_files/files-service.c | 7 +++- posix/Makefile | 2 +- posix/tst-getaddrinfo5.c | 69 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ resolv/res_query.c | 30 +++++++++-------- 7 files changed, 125 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) create mode 100644 posix/tst-getaddrinfo5.c
