The scandir() function returns -1 if it fails.
In many cases when this happens, it does not free

realloc functions check for recursion within the malloc code itself. In
a thread-safe library, the single spinlock ensures that no two threads
go inside the protected code at the same time. The thread implementation
is responsible for ensuring that the spinlock does in fact protect malloc.

Our spinlock implementation allows a particular thread to obtain a lock
multiple times, but release the lock with a single unlock call. Since
we're detecting recursion, we know the lock is already owned by the
current thread in a previous call and must not be released in the
current call. This is really far too dependent on this particular
spinlock implementation, so I've added commented out calls to
THREAD_UNLOCK in the appropriate places. We can activate this code when
spinlock is taught to count each lock operation.
In some cases replace if (a == null) a = malloc(x); else a =
realloc(a, x); with simple reallocf(a, x). Per ANSI-C, this is

size we receive here should fit into the receive buffer. Unfortunately,
there's no 100% foolproof way to distinguish a ridiculously large record
size that a client actually meant to send us from a ridiculously large
record size that was sent as a spoof attempt.
The one value that we can positively identify as bogus is zero. A
zero-sized record makes absolutely no sense, and sending an endless
supply of zeroes will cause the server to loop forever trying to
fill its receive buffer.
Note that the changes made to readtcp() make it okay to revert this
sanity test since the deadlock case where a client can keep the server
occupied forever in the readtcp() select() loop can't happen anymore.
This solution is not ideal, but is relatively easy to implement. The
ideal solution would be to re-arrange the way dispatching is handled
so that the select() loop in readtcp() can be eliminated, but this is
difficult to implement. I do plan to implement the complete solution
eventually but in the meantime I don't want to leave the RPC library
totally vulnerable.
That you very much Sun, may I have another.
uses readtcp() to gather data from the network; readtcp() uses select(),
with a timeout of 35 seconds. The problem with this is that if you
connect to a TCP server, send two bytes of data, then just pause, the
server will remain blocked in readtcp() for up to 35 seconds, which is
sort of a long time. If you keep doing this every 35 seconds, you can
keep the server occupied indefinitely.
To fix this, I modified readtcp() (and its cousin, readunix() in svc_unix.c)
to monitor all service transport handles instead of just the current socket.
This allows the server to keep handling new connections that arrive while
readtcp() is running. This prevents one client from potentially monopolizing
a server.
Also, while I was here, I fixed a bug in the timeout calculations. Someone
attempted to adjust the timeout so that if select() returned EINTR and the
loop was restarted, the timeout would be reduced so that rather than waiting
for another 35 seconds, you could never wait for more than 35 seconds total.
Unfortunately, the calculation was wrong, and the timeout could expire much
sooner than 35 seconds.
recently in BUGTRAQ. The set_input_fragment() routine in the XDR record
marking code blindly trusts that the first two bytes it sees will in fact
be an actual record header and that the specified size will be sane. In
fact, if you just telnet to a listening port of an RPC service and send a
few carriage returns, set_input_fragment() will obtain a ridiculously large
record size and sit there for a long time trying to read from the network.
A sanity test is required: if the record size is larger than the receive
buffer, punt.
recently in BUGTRAQ. If a stream oriented transport fails to properly decode
an RPC message header structure where there should be one, it should mark
the stream as dead so that the connection will be dropped.
Use rpcgen's -C option, although using it for non-headers breaks K&R

but also assumes that they are 32-bits. This is one place where I don't
think it is appropriate to change 'long' to 'int'. I don't see why the
code couldn't be fixed so that using natural long variables does the
right thing. It's spaggetti code so it'll take some effort. Obviously
NetBSD thought so too because they change 'long' to 'int32_t' etc
and left it at that. As a temporary measure FreeBSD/Alpha can use the
NetBSD code and put this on the list of things to fix.
One bug was relatively harmless (select's timeout had an uninitialized

file works with libpthread, but when built into libc_r which has a non-weak
symbol of the same name, the linker behaves unpredicatably and sometimes
links the wrong symbol. The linker behaviour is a byproduct of what
the program calls from object to object so it is like winning a lottery
if the program actually works. The odds are quite good - 95:1, I think.
We need a sure thing, though, so weak symbols can't be used instead
of renaming things.

List non-default asm sources in MDASM so that they replace the defaults.
For funny or incomplete syscalls, list them in NOASM to stop them
from getting built as defaults.
Include the architecture specific sys makefile like previously, but
what this contains differs. It defines MDASM which list architecture
specific asm code that *replaces* syscalls of the same name defined
in MIASM (which gets defined by the syscall.mk or netbsd_syscall.mk
dependent of NETBSD_SYSCALLS being defined). If a syscall has a
C source implementation or something funny done to it, or just doesn't
need default asm source generated for it, then it is listed in NOASM.
syscall.mk is generated by makesyscalls.sh with other syscall files.
netbsd_syscall.mk is a hand-generated equivalent. So if a new syscall
is added and no other makefiles are edited, it will automatically have
the default asm source generated for it (whether you want it or not).
Anything listed in MDASM gets added to SRCS and gets built. For
each syscall name in MIASM, if it doesn't exist in MDASM or NOASM,
it gets added to the ASM or ASMR lists to have code generated for it.
If the syscall name was listed in HIDDEN_SYSCALLS (intended for use
by libc_r, not libc which has it defined, but empty), then the name
is added to the ASMR list and gets renamed before being built;
otherwise it is added to the ASM list and gets built with the same
name.
I wonder if this is too complicated. But it works on both i386 and alpha.

those syscalls that it needs to rename so that libc_r can provide

_POSIX_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE are not set or
_POSIX_C_SOURCE is set >= 199309L
and vanish when:
_POSIX_SOURCE is set or _POSIX_C_SOURCE is < 199309L.

- Completely recoded the ypmatch cache code. The old code could leak
memory: it would allow the cache to grow, but never
shrink. The new code imposes the following limits:
o The cache is capped at a limit of 5 entries.
o Each entry expires after five seconds, at which point
its slot is freed.
o If an insertion is to be done and all five slots
are filled, the oldest entry is forcibly expired
to release its slot.
Also, the cache is implemented on a per-binding basis rather than
having a global cache covering all bindings. This means that each
bound domain has its own 5 slot cache.
- Changed clntudp_create() to clntudp_bufcreate() so that the
xmit/recv message buffer sizes can be set explicitly. NIS transactions
are rarely much larger than 1024 bytes since YPMAXRECORD is 1024.
The defaults chosen by clntudb_create() are actually much larger
than needed. I set the xmit buffer to a little over 1024 and the
recv buffer to a little over 2048. This saves a few Kbytes for each
NIS binding.
- Add my name to the copyright. I think I've made enough changes to
this file to merit it. :)
Note: these changes should go into the 2.2.x branch, but I'm waiting
on feedback from a tester to see if the cache fixes solve the reported
memory leak problem.
