RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Alon Bar-Lev 2015-03-19 11:47:46 UTC 
Created attachment 1003813 [details]
Resolve.java

Existence of ipv6 resolver address cases jndi resolver to fail, due to incorrect parsing of /etc/resolv.conf.

In linux[1] the format should be:

nameserver ipv4|ipv6

While Java expects the *bsd (and may be others) style of:

nameserver ipv4|\[ipv6\][:port]

I checked glibc's libresolv and clearly the [] nor port are unexpected.

Java parse implementation[3] tries to extract port after ']'.

Effected versions are probably since ever(?) including java-8.

OpenJDK bug was opened long time ago[4].

Attached reproduce program.

Hi, what are the contents of your resolv.conf?
Comment 3 Alon Bar-Lev 2015-03-19 14:04:49 UTC 
(In reply to Deepak Bhole from comment #2)
> Hi, what are the contents of your resolv.conf?

you can put any ipv6, simple example:

nameserver ::1

Severin already fixed the root issue in another bug.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1210739 ***
Comment 6 Andrew John Hughes 2015-06-23 15:54:31 UTC 
The other bug is a Fedora java-1.8.0-openjdk bug. This is for java-1.7.0-openjdk on RHEL 7.1. Re-opening.
