Description of problem: If there are interfaces that don't have an ipv6 address, but which are handled by rpcbind, then during interface init rpcbind segfaults. It calls getifaddrs() to get the ipv6 specific addresses for each interface, but any interface that doesn't have a valid ipv6 address returns a struct pointer with a NULL if_addr element. The code then proceeds to try and dereference that pointer without making sure it's valid first. Skipping each address that has no if_addr element as though it doesn't exist is the proper action. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.1.4-5.fc7 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Created attachment 155167 [details] Fix for the oops
Fixed in rpcbind-0.1.4-6.fc7
Verified that the rpcbind package from the build system does indeed resolve the issue.
