Subject: [rpcbind PATCH 5/6] rpcbind: check for null netmask in addrmerge()
Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2026 13:42:44 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903174245.1213147-6-smayhew@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260903174245.1213147-1-smayhew@redhat.com>
getifaddrs(3) states that ifa_netmask may contain a null pointer, so we
should skip interfaces where ifa_netmask is null to avoid triggering a
null dereference in bitmaskcmp().
This is mainly a defensive change - we only call bitmaskcmp() for
AF_INET/AF_INET6 addresses, and I'm not sure it's possible for an
interface to have an IP address but no netmask.
