commits leading up to this one have moved the vast majority of
libc-internal interface declarations to appropriate internal headers,
allowing them to be type-checked and setting the stage to limit their
visibility. the ones that have not yet been moved are mostly
namespace-protected aliases for standard/public interfaces, which
exist to facilitate implementing plain C functions in terms of POSIX
functionality, or C or POSIX functionality in terms of extensions that
are not standardized. some don't quite fit this description, but are
"internally public" interfacs between subsystems of libc.
rather than create a number of newly-named headers to declare these
functions, and having to add explicit include directives for them to
every source file where they're needed, I have introduced a method of
wrapping the corresponding public headers.
parallel to the public headers in $(srcdir)/include, we now have
wrappers in $(srcdir)/src/include that come earlier in the include
path order. they include the public header they're wrapping, then add
declarations for namespace-protected versions of the same interfaces
and any "internally public" interfaces for the subsystem they
correspond to.
along these lines, the wrapper for features.h is now responsible for
the definition of the hidden, weak, and weak_alias macros. this means
source files will no longer need to include any special headers to
access these features.
over time, it is my expectation that the scope of what is "internally
public" will expand, reducing the number of source files which need to
include *_impl.h and related headers down to those which are actually
implementing the corresponding subsystems, not just using them.

unlike the other res/dn functions, this one is tied to struct
resolvconf which is not a public interface, so put it in the private
header for its subsystem.
|
|
the source file for this function is completely standalone, but it
doesn't seem worth adding a header just for it, so declare it in
lookup.h for now.

commit 4f35eb7591031a1e5ef9828f9304361f282f28b9 introduced this bug.
it is not present in any released versions. inadvertent use of the &
operator on an array into which we're indexing produced arithmetic on
the wrong-type pointer, with undefined behavior.

to produce sorted results roughly corresponding to RFC 3484/6724,
__lookup_name computes routability and choice of source address via
dummy UDP connect operations (which do not produce any packets). since
at the logical level, the properties fed into the sort key are
computed on ipv6 addresses, the code was written to use the v4mapped
ipv6 form of ipv4 addresses and share a common code path for them all.
however, on kernels where ipv6 support has been completely omitted,
this causes ipv4 to appear equally unroutable as ipv6, thereby putting
unreachable ipv6 addresses before ipv4 addresses in the results.
instead, use only ipv4 sockets to compute routability for ipv4
addresses. some gratuitous conversion back and forth is left so that
the logic is not affected by these changes. it may be possible to
simplify the ipv4 case considerably, thereby reducing code size and
complexity.

if a final dot was included in the queried host name to anchor it to
the dns root/suppress search domains, and the result was not a CNAME,
the returned canonical name included the final dot. this was not
consistent with other implementations, confused some applications, and
does not seem desirable.
POSIX specifies returning a pointer to, or to a copy of, the input
nodename, when the canonical name is not available, but does not
attempt to specify what constitutes "not available". in the case of
search, we already have an implementation-defined "availability" of a
canonical name as the fully-qualified name resulting from search, so
defining it similarly in the no-search case seems reasonable in
addition to being consistent with other implementations.
as a bonus, fix the case where more than one trailing dot is included,
since otherwise the changes made here would wrongly cause lookups with
two trailing dots to succeed. previously this case resulted in
malformed dns queries and produced EAI_AGAIN after a timeout. now it
fails immediately with EAI_NONAME.

MAXADDRS was chosen not to need enforcement, but the logic used to
compute it assumes the answers received match the RR types of the
queries. specifically, it assumes that only one replu contains A
record answers. if the replies to both the A and the AAAA query have
their answer sections filled with A records, MAXADDRS can be exceeded
and clobber the stack of the calling function.
this bug was found and reported by Felix Wilhelm.

due to testing buf[i].family==AF_INET before checking i==cnt, it was
possible to read past the end of the array, or past the valid part. in
practice, without active bounds/indeterminate-value checking by the
compiler, the worst that happened was failure to return early and
optimize out the sorting that's unneeded for v4-only results.
returning on i==cnt-1 rather than i==cnt would be an alternate fix,
but the approach this patch takes is more idiomatic and less
error-prone.

loop over an address family / resource record mapping to avoid
repetitive code.
|
|
don't send a query that may be malformed.
|
|
name_from_hosts failed to account for the possibility of an address
family error from name_from_numeric, wrongly counting such a return as
success and using the uninitialized address data as part of the
results passed up to the caller.
non-matching address family entries cannot simply be ignored or
results would be inconsistent with respect to whether AF_UNSPEC or a
specific address family is queried. instead, record that a
non-matching entry was seen, and fail the lookup with EAI_NONAME of no
matching-family entries are found.

search is only performed if the search or domain keyword is used in
resolv.conf and the queried name has fewer than ndots dots. there is
no default domain and names with >=ndots dots are never subjected to
search; failure in the root scope is final.
the (non-POSIX) res_search API presently does not honor search. this
may be added at some point in the future if needed.
resolv.conf is now parsed twice, at two different layers of the code
involved. this will be fixed in a subsequent patch.

rcode of 3 (NxDomain) was treated as a hard EAI_NONAME failure, but it
should instead return 0 (no results) so the caller can continue
searching. this will be important for adding search domain support.
the top-level caller will automatically return EAI_NONAME if there are
zero results at the end.
also, the case where rcode is 0 (success) but there are no results was
not handled. this happens when the domain exists but there are no A or
AAAA records for it. in this case a hard EAI_NONAME should be imposed
to inhibit further search, since the name was defined and just does
not have any address associated with it. previously a misleading hard
failure of EAI_FAIL was reported.
|
|
previously, transient failures like fd exhaustion or other
resource-related errors were treated the same as non-existence of
these files, leading to fallbacks or false-negative results. in
particular:
- failure to open hosts resulted in fallback to dns, possibly yielding
EAI_NONAME for a hostname that should be defined locally, or an
unwanted result from dns that the hosts file was intended to
replace.
- failure to open services resulted in EAI_SERVICE.
- failure to open resolv.conf resulted in querying localhost rather
than the configured nameservers.
now, only permanent errors trigger the fallback behaviors above; all
other errors are reportable to the caller as EAI_SYSTEM.

trailing . should be accepted in domain name strings by convention
(RFC 1034), host name lookup accepts "." but rejects empty "", res_*
interfaces also accept empty name following existing practice.
|
|
A domain name is at most 255 bytes long (RFC 1035), but the string
representation is two bytes smaller so the strlen maximum is 253.
|
|
this also affects the legacy gethostbyaddr family, which uses
getnameinfo as its backend.
some other minor changes associated with the refactoring of source
files are also made; in particular, the resolv.conf parser now uses
the same code that's used elsewhere to handle ip literals, so as a
side effect it can now accept a scope id for nameserver addressed with
link-local scope.
|
|
for all address types, a scope_id specified as a decimal value is
accepted. for addresses with link-local scope, a string containing the
interface name is also accepted.
some changes are made to error handling to avoid unwanted fallbacks in
the case where the scope_id is invalid: if an earlier name lookup
backend fails with an error rather than simply "0 results", this
failure now suppresses any later attempts with other backends.
in getnameinfo, a light "itoa" type function is added for generating
decimal scope_id results, and decimal port strings for services are
also generated using this function now so as not to pull in the
dependency on snprintf.
in netdb.h, a definition for the NI_NUMERICSCOPE flag is added. this
is required by POSIX (it was previously missing) and needed to allow
callers to suppress interface-name lookups.
|
|
previously, all failures to obtain at least one address were treated
as nonexistant names (EAI_NONAME). this failed to account for the
possibility of transient failures (no response at all, or a response
with rcode of 2, server failure) or permanent failures that do not
indicate the nonexistence of the requested name. only an rcode of 3
should be treated as an indication of nonexistence.

the old resolver code used a function __ipparse which contained the
logic for inet_addr and inet_aton, which is needed in getaddrinfo.
this was phased out in the resolver overhaul in favor of directly
using inet_aton and inet_pton as appropriate.
this commit cleans up some stuff that was left behind.
|
|
this is the third phase of the "resolver overhaul" project.
this commit removes all of the old dns code, and switches the
__lookup_name backend (used by getaddrinfo, etc.) and the getnameinfo
function to use the newly implemented __res_mkquery and __res_msend
interfaces. for parsing the results, a new callback-based __dns_parse
function, based on __dns_get_rr from the old dns code, is used.
|
|
this bug was introduced in the recent resolver overhaul commits. it
likely had visible symptoms. these were probably limited to wrongly
accepting truncated versions of over-long names (vs rejecting them),
as opposed to stack-based overflows or anything more severe, but no
extensive checks were made. there have been no releases where this bug
was present.
|
|
this is the first phase of the "resolver overhaul" project.
conceptually, the results of getaddrinfo are a direct product of a
list of address results and a list of service results. the new code
makes this explicit by computing these lists separately and combining
the results. this adds support for services that have both tcp and udp
versions, where the caller has not specified which it wants, and
eliminates a number of duplicate code paths which were all producing
the final output addrinfo structures, but in subtly different ways,
making it difficult to implement any of the features which were
missing.
in addition to the above benefits, the refactoring allows for legacy
functions like gethostbyname to be implemented without using the
getaddrinfo function itself. such changes to the legacy functions have
not yet been made, however.
further improvements include matching of service alias names from
/etc/services (previously only the primary name was supported),
returning multiple results from /etc/hosts (previously only the first
matching line was honored), and support for the AI_V4MAPPED and AI_ALL
flags.
features which remain unimplemented are IDN translations (encoding
non-ASCII hostnames for DNS lookup) and the AI_ADDRCONFIG flag.
at this point, the DNS-based name resolving code is still based on the
old interfaces in __dns.c, albeit somewhat simpler in its use of them.
there may be some dead code which could already be removed, but
changes to this layer will be a later phase of the resolver overhaul.
