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.

getaddrinfo.c test program originally from bug 970090

Description of problem:
getaddrinfo() call returns wrong IPv6 address if nscd is used

Version-Release number of selected component:
glibc-2.12-1.208.el6

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install nscd and run it
2. ./getaddrinfo AF_INET6 localhost
[0 root@host ~]# ./getaddrinfo AF_INET6 localhost 
Hints family=10
host=7f00:1::, family=10 addr=7f00:1::
host=7f00:1::, family=10 addr=7f00:1::
host=7f00:1::, family=10 addr=7f00:1::
[0 root@host ~]#

Actual results:

host=7f00:1::, family=10 addr=7f00:1::
host=7f00:1::, family=10 addr=7f00:1::
host=7f00:1::, family=10 addr=7f00:1::

Expected results:

host=localhost, family=10 addr=::1
host=localhost, family=10 addr=::1
host=localhost, family=10 addr=::1

Sergey, do you know if this is a regression in glibc-2.12-1.208.el6?  Thanks.

It is glibc-2.12-1.208.el6 regression and it is related to patch for bug 1223095.

I have tested the upstream fix on x86_64 host, it works.
