Under low memory condition this routine can bail out early and leave part of the XDR structrure uninitialized. The callers : clnt_vc_create() in lib/libc/rpc/clnt_vc.c & makefd_xprt() in lib/libc/rpc/svc_vc.c do not check whether failed or not. This can lead to segfault when uninitialized pointers are accessed. This bug exists in FreeBSD 9 as well. 192 rstrm->in_base = mem_alloc(recvsize); 193 if (rstrm->in_base == NULL) { 194 warnx("xdrrec_create: out of memory"); 195 mem_free(rstrm->out_base, sendsize); 196 mem_free(rstrm, sizeof(RECSTREAM)); 197 return; 198 } 199 /* 200 * now the rest ... 201 */ 202 xdrs->x_ops = &xdrrec_ops; 203 xdrs->x_private = rstrm; 204 rstrm->tcp_handle = tcp_handle; >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: It has been reported against netbsd as well. http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-bugs/2012/08/06/msg029375.html I can provide a patch if there is an agreement on how it should be fixed. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
