Subject: [2.23 COMMITTED] nss_db: Fix initialization of iteration position [BZ #20237]
Date: Fri, 01 Jan 2016 00:00:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160818130220.9DCD5439942E2@oldenburg.str.redhat.com> (raw)

When get*ent is called without a preceding set*ent, we need
to set the initial iteration position in get*ent.

Reproducer: Add “services: db files” to /etc/nsswitch.conf, then run
“perl -e getservent”.  It will segfault before this change, and exit
silently after it.

(cherry picked from commit 31d0a4fa646db8b8c97ce24e0ec0a7b73de4fca1)

	[BZ #20237]
	* nss/nss_db/db-XXX.c (set*ent): Reset entidx to NULL.
	(get*ent): Set entidx to NULL during initialization.  If entidx is
	NULL, start iteration from the beginning.
