Subject: [PATCH] getaddrinfo: Fix leak with AI_ALL [BZ #28852]
Date: Wed,  2 Feb 2022 22:09:02 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220202163902.3596109-1-siddhesh@sourceware.org> (raw)

Avoid allocating multiple blocks in convert_hostent_to_gaih_addrtuple
because it's not possible to free the second block in the caller
gaih_inet.  Instead, use realloc and fix up pointers in the result list.

Resolves BZ #28852.

This is for 2.36; I'll backport the fix to 2.35 after the release is
cut.

Tested check and xcheck on x86_64 and also verified using valgrind that
the reproducer in the bugzilla is fixed.  mtrace doesn't show this leak
for some reason, so the reproducer could not be adapted to a glibc test
case.
