Synopsis: reading groups from YP causes core dumps in a client machine State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: wpaul State-Changed-When: Fri Mar 17 21:06:37 PST 1995 State-Changed-Why: Fixed. the grscan() utility function inside getgrent.c in libc would slam head-first into a null pointer dereference when it hit the +::: entry while processing a string of getgrent() calls. This means that any programs that tried to scroll through the group database with getgrent() would self-destruct after retrieving the last locally stored group entry. grscan() is now smart enough to avoid the circumstances that would lead to the null pointer dereference.home | help
