| Use calloc to allocate xports (BZ #17542) |
| |
| If xports is NULL in xprt_register we malloc it but if sock > |
| _rpc_dtablesize() that memory does not get initialised and may in theory |
| contain any value. Later we make a conditional jump in svc_getreq_common |
| based on the uninitialised memory and this caused a general protection |
| fault in rpc.statd on an older version of glibc but this code has not |
| changed since that version. |
| |
| Following is the valgrind warning. |
