inet/resolv: Fix broken h_aliases list terminator after 2dab3f5
Commit 2dab3f5a "resolv: tiny shrinkage in /etc/hosts handling" leads to that read_etc_hosts_r() provide garbage pointer at the end of h_aliases list if more than four hostnames follow a dotted quad in /etc/hosts Test-case: Add following line to /etc/hosts 63.63.0.2 host1 alias2 alias3 alias4 alias5 #include <stdio.h> #include <errno.h> #include <netdb.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <arpa/inet.h> int main (void) { int i; char *a; struct hostent *he; struct in_addr ipv4addr; inet_pton(AF_INET, "63.63.0.2", &ipv4addr); he = gethostbyaddr(&ipv4addr, sizeof ipv4addr, AF_INET); if (he == NULL) exit(1); printf("Host name: '%s'\n", he->h_name); i = 0; while ((a = he->h_aliases[i]) != NULL) { printf("Host alias: '%s'\n", a); ++i; } return 0; } Wrong output: Host name: 'host1' Host alias: 'alias2' Host alias: 'alias3' Host alias: 'alias4' Host alias: 'alias5' Host alias: '??'
