commit 58b930ae216bfa98cd60212b954b07b9963d6d04 Author: Siddhesh Poyarekar Date: Wed Sep 10 21:51:50 2014 +0530 Return failure in getnetgrent only when all netgroups have been searched (#17363) The netgroups lookup code fails when one of the groups in the search tree is empty. In such a case it only returns the leaves of the tree after the blank netgroup. This is because the line parser returns a NOTFOUND status when the netgroup exists but is empty. The __getnetgrent_internal implementation needs to be fixed to try remaining groups if the current group is entry. This patch implements this fix. Tested on x86_64. [BZ #17363] * inet/getnetgrent_r.c (__internal_getnetgrent_r): Try next group if the current group is empty. diff --git glibc-2.17-c758a686/inet/getnetgrent_r.c glibc-2.17-c758a686/inet/getnetgrent_r.c index f6d064d..e101537 100644 --- glibc-2.17-c758a686/inet/getnetgrent_r.c +++ glibc-2.17-c758a686/inet/getnetgrent_r.c @@ -297,7 +297,10 @@ __internal_getnetgrent_r (char **hostp, char **userp, char **domainp, { status = DL_CALL_FCT (*fct, (datap, buffer, buflen, &errno)); - if (status == NSS_STATUS_RETURN) + if (status == NSS_STATUS_RETURN + /* The service returned a NOTFOUND, but there are more groups that we + need to resolve before we give up. */ + || (status == NSS_STATUS_NOTFOUND && datap->needed_groups != NULL)) { /* This was the last one for this group.
