Subject: [PATCH] statd: statd_get_socket() should return open fds
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2015 09:05:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150824160538.1402.26833.stgit@seurat.1015granger.net> (raw)

Tastky <tastky@gmail.com> reports:

OpenGroup says getservbyport(3) is supposed to return NULL when
no entry exists for the specified port. But musl's getservbyport(3)
never returns NULL (likely a bug).

Thus statd_get_socket() tries bindresvport(3) 100 times, then gives
up and returns the last socket it created. This should work fine,
but there's a bug in the retry loop:

Rich Felker <dalias@libc.org> says:
> The logic bug is the count-down loop that closes all the temp

(emphasis mine). The closed socket fd is then passed to select(2).

See also: http://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2015/08

The fix is to perform the loop termination test before adding sockfd
to the set of fds to be closed. As additional clean ups, remove the
use of the variable-length stack array, and switch to variable names
that better document the purpose of this logic.
