During cross-compilation, CARES_RANDOM_FILE may not be able to be appropriately

entity requesting compilation override the value. The code does appropriately

fix memory leak in ares_send (#511)
When the condition channel->nservers < 1 holds, the function returns

check to be done prior to the allocations, avoiding the memory

Watcom Portability Improvements (#509)
- Modify the Watcom Makefile for the source code reorganization (#352)
- Add *.map files into .gitignore
- Fix build errors with Watcom's builtin Windows SDK (which is rather
outdated). It's smart enough to understand Windows Vista, but doesn't
have PMIB_UNICASTIPADDRESS_TABLE or MIB_IPFORWARD_ROW2.
It may be possible to use a different Windows SDK with the Watcom
compiler, such as the most recent Windows 10 SDK. Alternatively the SDK
in OpenWatcom 2.0 (which is in development) should fix this.
I have no problems testing this Makefile prior to releases, just give me
a ping.
Tested with Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 10 using 'adig',
'acountry', and 'ahost'. This also seems to work on Windows XP, though
this is likely due to the compiler in use.

Add str len check in config_sortlist to avoid stack overflow (#497)
In ares_set_sortlist, it calls config_sortlist(..., sortstr) to parse
the input str and initialize a sortlist configuration.
However, ares_set_sortlist has not any checks about the validity of the input str.
It is very easy to create an arbitrary length stack overflow with the unchecked
`memcpy(ipbuf, str, q-str);` and `memcpy(ipbufpfx, str, q-str);`
statements in the config_sortlist call, which could potentially cause severe
security impact in practical programs.
This commit add necessary check for `ipbuf` and `ipbufpfx` which avoid the
potential stack overflows.

bug fix: new ares_strsplit (#492)
* add ares_strsplit unit test
The test reveals a bug in the implementation of ares_strsplit when the
make_set parameter is set to 1, as distinct domains are confused for
equal:
out = ares_strsplit("example.com, example.co", ", ", 1, &n);
evaluates to n = 1 with out = { "example.com" }.
* bugfix and cleanup of ares_strsplit
The purpose of ares_strsplit in c-ares is to split a comma-delimited
string of unique (up to letter case) domains. However, because the
terminating NUL byte was not checked in the substrings when comparing
for uniqueness, the function would sometimes drop domains it should
not. For example,
ares_strsplit("example.com, example.co", ",")
would only result in a single domain "example.com".
Aside from this bugfix, the following cleanup is performed:
1. The tokenization now happens with the help of strcspn instead of the
custom function is_delim.
2. The function list_contains has been inlined.
3. The interface of ares_strsplit has been simplified by removing the
parameter make_set since in practice it was always 1.
4. There are fewer passes over the input string.
5. We resize the table using realloc() down to its minimum size.
6. The docstring of ares_strsplit is updated and also a couple typos
are fixed.
There occurs a single use of ares_strsplit and since the make_set
parameter has been removed, the call in ares_init.c is modified
accordingly. The unit test for ares_strsplit is also updated.

Convert total timeout to per-query (#467)
On Apple platforms, libresolv reports the total timeout in retrans, not the per-query time. This patch undoes that math to get the per-query time, which is what c-ares expects. This is not perfect because libresolv is inconsistent on whether the timeout is multiplied by retry or retry+1, but I don't see any way to distinguish these cases.

Fix ares_getaddrinfo() numerical address fast path with AF_UNSPEC (#469)
The conversion of numeric IPv4 addresses in fake_addrinfo() is broken when
the family is AF_UNSPEC. The initial call to ares_inet_pton with AF_INET
will succeed, but the subsequent call using AF_INET6 will fail. This results
in the fake_addrinfo() fast path failing, and ares_getaddrinfo() making a
query when none should be required.
Resolve this by only attempting the call to ares_inet_pton with AF_INET6
if the initial call with AF_INET was unsuccessful.

When using ares_getaddrinfo() with PF_UNSPEC, if a DNS server returned

If we got a good response from one of the two queries, regardless of

Windows: rework/simplify initialization code, drop long EOL systems (#445)
There was a lot of windows initialization code specific to the era that predates Windows Vista such as reading DNS configuration from the registry, and dynamically loading libraries to get access to functions that didn't exist in XP or earlier releases.
Vista was released in January 2007, and was EOL'd in 2017, and support for Vista is still maintained with this patch set.
XP was EOL'd in Apr 8 2014.
I believe the last OS based on something earlier than Vista was POSReady 2009, as it was XP based for some reason, and that was EOL'd in January 2019. Considering any POS system falls under the PCI-DSS rules, they aren't allow to run POSReady 2009 any more so there is no reason to try to continue supporting such systems.
We have also targeted with our build system Vista support for the last few years, and while developers could change the target, we haven't had any reports that they have.

Reimplement ares_gethostbyname() by wrapping ares_getaddrinfo() (#428)
ares_gethostbyname() and ares_getaddrinfo() do a lot of similar things, however ares_getaddrinfo() has some desirable behaviors that should be imported into ares_gethostbyname(). For one, it sorts the address lists for the most likely to succeed based on the current system routes. Next, when AF_UNSPEC is specified, it properly handles search lists instead of first searching all of AF_INET6 then AF_INET, since ares_gethostbyname() searches in parallel. Therefore, this PR should also resolve the issues attempted in #94.
A few things this PR does:
1. ares_parse_a_reply() and ares_parse_aaaa_reply() had very similar code to translate struct ares_addrinfo into a struct hostent as well as into struct ares_addrttl/ares_addr6ttl this has been split out into helper functions of ares__addrinfo2hostent() and ares__addrinfo2addrttl() to prevent this duplicative code.
2. ares_getaddrinfo() was apparently never honoring HOSTALIASES, and this was discovered once ares_gethostbyname() was turned into a wrapper, the affected test cases started failing.
3. A slight API modification to save the query hostname into struct ares_addrinfo as the last element of name. Since this is the last element, and all user-level instances of struct ares_addrinfo are allocated internally by c-ares, this is not an ABI-breaking change nor would it impact any API compatibility. This was needed since struct hostent has an h_name element.
4. Test Framework: MockServer tests via TCP would fail if more than 1 request was received at a time which is common when ares_getaddrinfo() queries for both A and AAAA records simultaneously. Infact, this was a long standing issue in which the ares_getaddrinfo() test were bypassing TCP alltogether. This has been corrected, the message is now processed in a loop.
5. Some tests had to be updated for overall correctness as they were invalid but somehow passing prior to this change.

error.
This is caused by the fact that advapi32 is lower case in mingw builds.

Tests should use dynamic system-assigned ports rather than static port (#346)
The c-ares test suite was hardcoded to use port 5300 (and possibly 5301, 5302) for the test suite. Especially in containers, there may be no guarantee these ports are available and cause tests to fail when they could otherwise succeed. Instead, request the system to assign a port to use dynamically. This is now the default. To override, the test suite still takes the "-p <port>" option as it always has and will honor that.

Avoid buffer overflow in RC4 loop comparison (#336)
The rc4 function iterates over a buffer of size buffer_len who's maximum
value is INT_MAX with a counter of type short that is not guaranteed to
have maximum size INT_MAX.
In circumstances where short is narrower than int and where buffer_len
is larger than the maximum value of a short, it may be possible to loop
infinitely as counter will overflow and never be greater than or equal
to buffer_len.
The solution is to make the comparison be between types of equal width.

Parse SOA records from ns_t_any response (#103)
Added the capability of parsing SOA record from a response buffer of ns_t_any type query, this implementation doesn't interfere with existing T_SOA query's response as that too is treated as a list of records. The function returns ARES_EBADRESP if no SOA record is found(as per RFC).
The basic idea of sticking to RFC that a ns_t_any too should return an SOA record is something open for discussion but I have kept the functionality intact as it was previously i.e the function returns ARES_EBADRESP if it doesn't find a SOA record regardless of which response it is parsing i.e. T_SOA or T_ANY.
Note that asking for T_ANY is generally a bad idea:

Apply the IPv6 server blacklist to all nameserver sources, not just Windows (#193)
For #164, I mentioned that it seemed like the IPv6 nameserver blacklist should apply to all OSes. In a mailing list post, @bradh352 agreed and suggested that I file a PR to make it so.
This moves the blacklist check from being Windows-specific to being a general feature of config_nameservers(), no matter the nameserver source. It also simplifies the ares_ipv6_server_blacklisted() implementation to not parse and re-parse the blacklisted IPv6 addresses from strings on every check. I think they're almost as easy to read as a sequence of hex bytes in an array initializer, and it's definitely less work on each trip through the code.

Fix warnings emitted by MSVC when using -W4 (#192)
These changes fix a few warnings emitted by recent versions of MSVC when compiling with -W4. Half of the changes are in Windows-specific code, and the other half should be safe no matter the compiler or OS.
The allocation function change is probably the only one that needs explanation. MSVC gives warnings about the function pointers not being stable across DLL boundaries or something to that effect, so for Windows, I've made them be called indirectly, which at least made the compiler happy. I can't say I've tested every linking combination on Windows with them before or after the change, but it seems harmless.

Harden and rationalize c-ares timeout computation (#187)
* Harden and rationalize c-ares timeout computation
* Remove the rand() part of the timeout calculation completely.
When c-ares sends a DNS query, it computes the timeout for that request as follows:
timeplus = channel->timeout << (query->try_count / channel->nservers);
timeplus = (timeplus * (9 + (rand () & 7))) / 16;
I see two issues with this code. Firstly, when either try_count or channel->timeout are large enough, this can end up as an illegal shift.
Secondly, the algorithm for adding the random timeout (added in 2009) is surprising. The original commit that introduced this algorithm says it was done to avoid a "packet storm". But, the algorithm appears to only reduce the timeout by an amount proportional to the scaled timeout's magnitude. It isn't clear to me that, for example, cutting a 30 second timeout almost in half to roughly 17 seconds is appropriate. Even with the default timeout of 5000 ms, this algorithm computes values between 2812 ms and 5000 ms, which is enough to cause a slightly latent DNS response to get spuriously dropped.
If preventing the timers from all expiring at the same time really is desirable, then it seems better to extend the timeout by a small factor so that the application gets at least the timeout it asked for, and maybe a little more. In my experience, this is common practice for timeouts: applications expect that a timeout will happen at or after the designated time (but not before), allowing for delay in detecting and reporting the timeout. Furthermore, it seems like the timeout shouldn't be extended by very much (we don't want a 30 second timeout changing into a 45 second timeout, either).
Consider also the documentation of channel->timeout in ares_init_options():
The number of milliseconds each name server is given to respond to a query on the first try. (After the first try, the timeout algorithm becomes more complicated, but scales linearly with the value of timeout.) The default is five seconds.
In the current implementation, even the first try does not use the value that the user supplies; it will use anywhere between 56% and 100% of that value.
The attached patch attempts to address all of these concerns without trying to make the algorithm much more sophisticated. After performing a safe shift, this patch simply adds a small random timeout to the computed value of between 0 ms and 511 ms. I could see limiting the random amount to be no greater than a proportion of the configured magnitude, but I can't see scaling the random with the overall computed timeout. As far as I understand, the goal is just to schedule retries "not at the same exact time", so a small difference seems sufficient.
UPDATE: randomization removed.

Fix DNS server lookup breaking with Android O due to Android removing access to net.dns# system properties. (#148)
As of Android 8 (Oreo) access to net.dns# has been removed (https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/android-8.0-changes.html). The reasoning given is that it, "improves privacy on the platform". Currently c-ares uses this to get the list of DNS servers.
Now the only way to access the DNS server list is by using the Connectivity Manager though Java. This adds the necessary JNI code to use the Connectivity Manager and pull the DNS server list. The old way using __system_property_get with net.dns# remains for compatibilty.
Using the Connectivity Manager requires the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission to be set on the app. Existing applications most likely are not setting this and keeping the previous method as a fallback will at the very least ensure those apps don't break on older versions of Android. They will need to add this permission for Android 8 compatibility.
Included in the patch are two initalization functions which are required. The JVM must be registered as well as the Connectivity Manager itself. There is no way to get the Connectivity Manager except though Java. Either being passed down to C directly or by passing in an Android Context which can be used to get the Connectivity Manager. Examples are provided in the documentation.

ares_parse_naptr_reply: make buffer length check more accurate
9478908a490a6bf009ba58d81de8c1d06d50a117 introduced a length check
for records parsed by `ares_parse_naptr_reply()`. However, that
function is designed to parse replies which also contain non-NAPTR
records; for A records, the `rr_len > 7` check will fail as there
are only 4 bytes of payload.
In particular, parsing ANY replies for NAPTR records was broken
by that patch.
Fix that by moving the check into the case in which it is already
known that the record is a NAPTR record.

Windows DNS server sorting (#81)
Original Patch From Brad Spencer:
https://c-ares.haxx.se/mail/c-ares-archive-2016-04/0000.shtml
My modifications include:
* Dynamically find GetBestRoute2 since it is a Windows Vista+ symbol, and will fall back to prior behavior when not available.
* Prefer get_DNS_AdaptersAddresses as the modifications should alleviate the concerns which caused us to prefer get_DNS_NetworkParams
* Update AppVeyor to use MinGW-w64 instead of the legacy MinGW
* Fix compile error in test suite for Windows.
Original message from patch below:
From: Brad Spencer <bspencer@blackberry.com>
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2016 14:26:23 -0300
On Windows, the c-ares DNS resolver tries first to get a full list of
DNS server addresses by enumerating the system's IPv4/v6 interfaces and
then getting the per-interface DNS server lists from those interfaces
and joining them together. The OS, at least in the way the c-ares
prefers to query them (which also may be the only or best way in some
environments), does not provide a unified list of DNS servers ordered
according to "current network conditions". Currently, c-ares will then
try to use them in whatever order the nested enumeration produces, which
may result in DNS requests being sent to servers on one interface
(hosting the current default route, for example) that are only intended
to be used via another interface (intended to be used when the first
interface is not available, for example). This, in turn, can lead to
spurious failures and timeouts simply because of the server address
order that resulted because of the enumeration process.
This patch makes the (safe?) assumption that there is no other better
rule to chose which interface's DNS server list should be prioritized.
After all, a DNS lookup isn't something "per network"; applications
don't look up "these DNS names on this interface and those DNS names on
that interface". There is a single resource pool of DNS servers and the
application should presume that any server will give it the "right"
answer. However, even if all DNS servers are assumed to give equally
useful responses, it is reasonable to expect that some DNS servers will
not accept requests on all interfaces. This patch avoids the problem by
sorting the DNS server addresses using the Windows IPv4/v6 routing tables.
For example, a request to DNS server C on interface 2 that is actually
sent over interface 1 (which may happen to have the default route) may
be rejected by or not delivered to DNS server C. So, better to use DNS
servers A and B associated with interface 1, at least as a first try.
By using the metric of the route to the DNS server itself as a proxy for
priority of the DNS server in the list, this patch is able to adapt
dynamically to changes in the interface list, the DNS server lists per
interface, which interfaces are active, the routing table, and so on,
while always picking a good "best" DNS server first.
In cases where any DNS server on any interface will do, this patch still
seems useful because it will prioritize a lower-metric route's (and thus
interface's) servers.

extracted what I thought was appropriate, though many of the tests aren't
as in-depth in CMake as they are for autotools ... it is unclear why some
of them exist at all, I'm guessing for legacy systems that CMake probably
doesn't support anyhow.

- api: add ARES_OPT_NOROTATE optmask value
Fix up a couple of problems with configuring whether c-ares rotates
between different name servers between requests.
Firstly, ares_save_options() returns (in *optmask) the value of
(channel->optmask & ARES_OPT_ROTATE), which doesn't necessarily
indicate whether the channel is or is not actually doing rotation.
This can be confusing/incorrect if:
- the channel was originally configured without ARES_OPT_ROTATE
(so it appears that the channel is not rotating)
- the /etc/resolv.conf file includes the 'rotate' option
(so the channel is actually performing rotation).
Secondly, it is not possible to reliably configure a channel
to not-rotate; leaving off ARES_OPT_ROTATE is not enough, since
a 'rotate' option in /etc/resolv.conf will turn it on again.
Therefore:
- add an ARES_OPT_NOROTATE optmask value to allow explicit
configuration of no-rotate behaviour
- in ares_save_options(), report the value of channel->rotate
as exactly one of (optmask & ARES_OPT_ROTATE) or
(optmask & ARES_OPT_NOROTATE).
In terms of back-compatibility:
- existing apps that set ARES_OPT_ROTATE will continue to rotate,
and to have ARES_OPT_ROTATE reported back from ares_save_options()
- existing apps that don't set ARES_OPT_ROTATE will continue to
use local config/defaults to decide whether to rotate, and will
now get ARES_OPT_ROTATE or ARES_OPT_NOROTATE reported back from
ares_save_options() rather than 0.
- ares_init_options: only propagate init failures from options
Commit 46bb820be3a8 ("ares_init_options: don't lose init failure")
changed init behaviour so that earlier errors in initialization
weren't lost. In particular, if the user passes in specific
options but they are not applied (e.g. because of an allocation
failure), that failure needs to be reported back to the user; this
also applies when duplicating a channel with ares_dup().
However, other initialization failures can be ignored and
overridden -- in particular, if init_by_resolv_conf() or
init_by_environment() fail, then falling back to default values
is OK.
So only preserve failures from the init_by_options() stage, not
from all initialization stages.
Fixes issue 60.

- test: fuzzer mode for AFL's persistent mode
When fuzzing with AFL, if the LLVM-based instrumentation is
used (via the afl-clang-fast wrapper), then it is possible to
have a single execution of the fuzzer program iterate multiple
times over the fuzzing entrypoint (similar to libFuzzer's normal
mode of execution) with different data. This is much (e.g. 10x)
faster.
Add code to support this, by checking whether __AFL_LOOP is
defined at compile-time.
Also, shift the code to effectively be C rather than C++.
- test: simplify deps for fuzzer entrypoint
No need to depend on the rest of the test code (ares-test.h) for
the fuzzer entrypoint; this makes the entrypoint slightly simpler
to build with LLVM's libFuzzer.
Also shift the code to effectively be C rather than C++

configure: check if tests can get built before enabled
The current approach for disabling tests is not a good solution because
it forces you to pass --disable-tests, rather than auto-detect if your
system can support the tests in the first place. Many (most?) systems
do not have C++11. This also causes issues when chain-building c-ares,
the hosting system needs to be updated to support passing this
additional flag if necessary, it doesn't seem reasonable to add this
requirement which breaks compatibility.
This change auto-detects if the system can build the tests and
automatically disable them if it cannot. If you pass --enable-tests to
configure and the system cannot build them either due to lack of system
support, or because cross-compilation is being used, it will throw an
appropriate error since the user indicated they really did want the
tests.

ares_win32_init: make LoadLibrary work when using UNICODE too
Closes #17
David Drysdale (11 Feb 2016)
- Use "resolve" as synonym of "dns" in nsswitch.conf
Modern Linux systems may have libnss_resolve from systemd as the
resolver, which is then configured in /etc/nsswitch.conf with
the "resolve" keyword rather than "dns".
Fixes #33
- ares_set_socket_callback: make manpage match code
The code in ares_process.c that invokes the socket creation/connection
callback only checks for rc < 0, not for standard ares error codes.
- Merge pull request #36 from AGWA-forks/master
Add ares_set_socket_configure_callback()
- test: Update init tests to match behaviour
Unreadable config files are now treated the same way
as absent config files.

Ignore `fopen` errors to use default values
After 46bb820be3a83520e70e6c5f0c5133253fcd69cd `init_by_resolv_conf`
errors are no longer swallowed in `ares_init_options`. This has exposed
a previously unknown bug in `lookups` initialization code.
If there is no lookup configuration in `resolv.conf`,
`init_by_resolv_conf` will attempt to read it from other files available
on the system. However, some of these files may have restricted
permissions (like `600`), which will lead to `EACCESS` errno, which in
turn is handled like a fatal error by `init_by_resolv_conf`.
However, it sounds illogical that this error should be handled as a
fatal. There is a `init_by_defaults` call that overrides `lookups` with
default value, and certainly possible absence of lookup information is
the reason why this function exists in a first place!
I suggest handling any `fopen` errors as non-fatal ones, allowing to
pick up the `lookups` value from different config files, or to pick up
default value.

- Document callback type in man page for ares_set_socket_callback
- Add ares_set_socket_configure_callback()
This function sets a callback that is invoked after the socket is
created, but before the connection is established. This is an ideal
time to customize various socket options.

- test: Check ares_parse_txt_reply_ext() entrypoint
- [Fedor Indutny brought this change]
txt: introduce `ares_parse_txt_reply_ext`
Introduce `ares_txt_ext` structure with an extra `record_start`
field, which indicates a start of a new TXT record, thus allowing to
differentiate the chunks in the same record, from a chunks in a
different record.
Introduce a new API method: `ares_parse_txt_reply_ext` that works with
this kind of struct.

- doc: update badge locations to master repo
- test: Enable maintainer mode + debug in Travis
- test: Add an iOS build target
- test: Ignore SIGPIPE in tests
- test: More initialization tests
- test: Improve containerized test mechanism
Aim is to ensure that code coverage information can escape the
container. To do this:
- Enter a new mount namespace too, so that we can...
- Bind mount the expected source directory into the container
- Share memory with the sub-process so coverage information is
shared too.
- test: Make contained tests easier to write
- test: Add framework for containerized testing
On Linux we can potentially use user and UTS namespaces to run a test
in a pseudo-container with:
- arbitrary filesystem (e.g. /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/hosts)
- arbitrary hostname/domainname.
Include a first pass at the framework code to allow this, along with a
first test case that uses the container.
- test: Use a longer timeout for less flakiness
Having occasional test failures from timeout before multiple
queries can complete, so up the default timeout for the test
from 100ms to 1500ms.
- test: Make failure tests more robust
Different platforms will do different numbers of allocations
in the processing of a given API call; just check that the
return code is either success or ENOMEM, and free off any
returned state in the former case.
Also cope with ECONNREFUSED as well as ENOTFOUND.

- Add an allocation failure test for each parsing function.
- Add error check test for each parsing function.
- test: Add various additional tests
- test: More tests
Include tests of internal functions, based on the value of the
CARES_SYMBOL_HIDING macro; need to configure the library with
--disable-symbol-hiding to enable these tests.
- test: Allow command line override of mock server port
- test: Add README.md documentation
- test: Temporarily avoid latest Python requests package
Currently get error from Travis on this install step, and downgrading one
version appears to fix the problem.
"Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pyOpenSSL>=0.13
(from requests[security])"
- test: Add AppVeyor config file for Windows build
- test: Add configuration for a Travis build
Cover Linux & OSX on the container infrastructure, but install
a later G++ to satisfy the tests' need for C++11.
Use a build matrix to include a variety of build variants:
- ASAN
- UBSAN
- LSAN
- Coverage via coveralls.io
test: invoke ASAN and coverage in Travis build
Also shift to use explicit build matrix
test: Use coveralls.io for coverage tracking
test: Add a build with UBSAN
Also expand and re-order the setting of environment variables
for easier modification.
test: Add LSAN build to Travis config
- test: Add initial unit tests for c-ares library
The tests are written in C++11, using the GoogleTest and GoogleMock
frameworks. They have their own independent autoconf setup, so that
users of the library need not have a C++ compiler just to get c-ares
working (however, the test/configure.ac file does assume the use of
a shared top-level m4/ directory). However, this autoconf setup has
only been tested on Linux and OSX so far.
Run with "./arestest", or "./arestest -v" to see extra debug info.
The GoogleTest options for running specific tests are also
available (e.g. "./arestest --gtest_filter=*Live*").
The tests are nowhere near complete yet (currently hitting around
60% coverage as reported by gcov), but they do include examples
of a few different styles of testing:
- There are live tests (ares-test-live.cc), which assume that the
current machine has a valid DNS setup and connection to the
internet; these tests issue queries for real domains but don't
particularly check what gets returned. The tests will fail on
an offline machine.
- There a few mock tests (ares-test-mock.cc) that set up a fake DNS
server and inject its port into the c-ares library configuration.
These tests allow specific response messages to be crafted and
injected, and so are likely to be used for many more tests in
future.
- To make this generation/injection easier, the dns-proto.h file
includes C++ helper classes for building DNS packets.
- Other library entrypoints that don't require network activity
(e.g. ares_parse_*_reply) are tested directly.
- There are few tests of library-internal functions that are not
normally visible to API users (in ares-test-internal.cc).
- A couple of the tests use a helper method of the test fixture to
inject memory allocation failures, using the earlier change to the
library to allow override of malloc/realloc/free.
- There is also an entrypoint to allow Clang's libfuzzer to drive
the packet parsing code in ares_parse_*_reply, together with a
standalone wrapper for it (./aresfuzz) to allow use of afl-fuzz
for further fuzz testing.
- test: Add local copy of GoogleMock/GoogleTest 1.7.0
Don't check in gtest/m4 files, as they are unused and interfere
with the top-level configure process.
- doc: Show build badges in README.md
Note that these URLs will need to be updated if/when the test branch
gets pulled into the master repo/branch.
- doc: Convert README to README.md
Gives better display on GitHub
- doc: Update in preparation for next release
Assume 1.11.0 is next (as there are various API additions).
Also add myself to AUTHORS.
- build: Allow header compilation by Windows C++ compiler
- build: Expose whether symbol hiding is on
Adding the CARES_SYMBOL_HIDING definition allows the test suite to
detect whether internal symbols are available or not.
- build: Add autoconf macros for C++11 code using pthreads
Pull in testing macros from the GNU autoconf archive to allow
configure scripts to test for and setup use of a C++11 compiler
(AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11) and the pthreads library (AX_PTHREAD).
Note that these macros are not used by the main library autoconf,
just by the tests (which share the same m4/ directory).
- build: Add a code coverage option
Configure with:
./configure --enable-code-coverage
Show coverage output with:
make code-coverage-capture
Built on m4/ax_code_coverage.m4 from the GNU autoconf archive
to provide the macros to check for presence of gcov + lcov;
upstream macro modified to:
- Remove use of $(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY) , as earlier versions of
autoconf (such as the one used by default on Travis) do not have this.
- Rather than automatically defining CODE_COVERAGE_RULES to be a set
of makefile rules that use ifeq/endif (which is GNU make-specific),
instead only define CODE_COVERAGE_RULES if coverages is turned on,
and in that case don't use conditionals in the makefile.
- api: Add entrypoints to allow use of per-server ports
Add user-visible entrypoints ares_{get,set}_servers_ports(3), which
take struct ares_addr_port_node rather than struct ares_addr_node.
This structure includes a UDP and TCP port number; if this is set
to zero, the channel-wide port values are used as before.
Similarly, add a new ares_set_servers_ports_csv(3) entrypoint, which
is analogous to ares_set_servers(3) except it doesn't ignore any
specified port information; instead, any per-server specified port
is used as both the UDP and TCP port for that server.
The internal struct ares_addr is extended to hold the UDP/TCP ports,
stored in network order, with the convention that a value of zero
indicates that the channel-wide UDP/TCP port should be used.
For the internal implementation of ares_dup(3), shift to use the
_ports() version of the get/set functions, so port information is
transferred correctly to the new channel.
Update manpages, and add missing ares_set_servers_csv to the lists
while we're at it
- api: Add ares_set_sortlist(3) entrypoint
Allow explicit configuration of the channel's sortlist, by
specifying a string in the same format as the equivalent
/etc/resolv.conf option.
This allows library users to perform the same configuration
that is available via /etc/resolv.conf, but without needing
to change that file.
- api: Allow injection of user-specified malloc/free functions
Add a new ares_library_init_mem() initialization function for the
library which allows the library user to specify their own malloc,
realloc & free equivalents for use library-wide.
Store these function pointers in library-wide global variables,
defaulting to libc's malloc(), realloc() and free().
Change all calls to malloc, realloc and free to use the function pointer
instead. Also ensure that ares_strdup() is always available
(even if the local environment includes strdup(3)), and change the
library code to always use it.
Convert calls to calloc() to use ares_malloc() + memset
- api: Add option to expose some internal functions
Purely for testing, add --enable-expose-statics option to configure
which converts some static internal functions to be externally visible.
- api: Expose the ares_library_initialized() function
- ahost: Allow repeated -s <domain> options
This also removes a potential leak where later -s options would
replace earlier ones without freeing the relevant string.
- Mark unhittable lines
Add comments for the benefit of the lcov tool, marking
lines that cannot be hit. Typically these are fall-back
protection arms that are already covered by earlier checks,
and so it's not worth taking out the unhittable code (in case
someone changes the code between the two places in future).
- ares_set_servers_csv.3: make return type match code
- bitncmp: update comment to match code behaviour
- ares_striendstr: fix so non-NULL return can happen
This looks to have been broken since it was first introduced in 2005 in
commit aba0b775ea30 ("Added ares_getnameinfo which mimics the
getnameinfo API")
- config_sortlist: free any existing sortlist on (re)alloc failure
If we get an allocation failure on 2nd or later entry in the sortlist, the
code would return ENOMEM but still leave the initial entries allocated.
Ensure that *sortlist is set to NULL whenever ENOMEM is returned.
- ares_dup: clear new channel on failure
If the attempt to transfer IPv6 servers from the old to the new channel
fails, the previous code would still return a channel to the user even though
an error return code was generated. This makes it likely that users would
leak the channel, so explicitly clear the channel in this case.
- ares_init_options: don't lose init failure
If (say) init_by_options() fails, the subsequent call to
init_by_defaults() was overwriting the return code with
success. Still call init_by_defaults() regardless, but track
its return value separately
- ares_gethostbyname: don't leak valid-but-empty hostent
If an AF_UNSPEC query gets a valid response to its AAAA query,
but which has no IPv6 addresses in it, then the code chains on to
a A record query. However, the hostent from the AAAA response
was being leaked along the way (because it gets replaced before
the follow-on end_hquery() invocation).
- ares_parse_txt_reply: propagate errors from per-substring loop
If we get an allocation failure when processing a particular substring in a
TXT record, that failure is silently lost; fix that by propagating errors from
the inner loop to the outer loop.
- process_answer: fix things up correctly when removing EDNS option
When a server rejects an EDNS-equipped request, we retry without
the EDNS option. However, in TCP mode, the 2-byte length prefix was
being calculated wrong -- it was built from the answer length rather than
the length of the original request.
Also, it is theoretically possible that the call to realloc() might change
the data pointed to; to allow for this, qbuf also needs updating.
(Both these fixes were actually included in a patchset sent on the mailing
list in Oct 2012, but were included with other functional changes that
didn't get merged:
http://c-ares.haxx.se/mail/c-ares-archive-2012-10/0004.shtml)
- ares__read_line: clear buf pointer on realloc failure
- ares_expand_name: check for valid bits in label length
The top two bits of the label length indicate whether this is a
label length (00) or an index to a name elsewhere in the message
(11). RFC1035 4.1.4 says that the other possible values for the
top two bits (01, 10) are reserved for future use.

Update for commit affc63cba875d.
The original patch from Gregor Jasny did not have the break

uninitialized, causing problems for later cleanup.

Fixing slow DNS lookup issue
This patch is fixing the dns lookup issue due to dummy dns information
of a disconnected adapter(in my case is a bluetooth adapter). I changed
the dns lookup policy to try GetNetworkParams first because the
GetNetworkParams provides the most reliable dns information (lots of
checks were done by system). I also filter out inoperable adapter in
DNS_AdaptersAddresses in case GetNetworkParams fail.

Continue loop if space for hostname not large enough
When attempting to build a search domain from the local hostname
(used as a fallback when no other methods have given a search
domain), the code doubles the buffer size on each loop iteration.
However, the loop previously had a WHILE_FALSE terminator so the continue
statement exited the loop rather than going round again.

Fix integer shift overflow if both tcp_socket and udp_socket are set
The problem occurs if at the start of the loop the sockindex is at the
last valid ARES_GETSOCK_MAXNUM position. If then both udp_socket and
tcp_socket are valid, sockindex gets incremented for UDP first and
points one entry behind the array for the tcp block.
So the fix is to check after every increment of sockindex if it is still
valid.

ares_build.h: fix building on 64-bit powerpc
There are two issues.
1. gcc actually does not use __ppc__ and __ppc64__ but __PPC__ and
__PPC64__. The tests of __ILP32__ and __LP64__ are sufficient for gcc.
2. clang defines __GNU__ and defines both __ppc64__ and __ppc__ when
targeting ppc64. This makes CARES_SIZEOF_LONG to be 4 on a ppc64 system
when building with clang.

called. This behaviour may cause problems in programs linking two or
more libraries which, in turn, use c-ares. The present commit fixes this
problem, deinitializing the library only after a number of calls to
ares_library_cleanup() matching the number of calls to
ares_library_init().

- [Alexander Klauer brought this change]
ares_cancel(): cancel requests safely
An invocation of ares_cancel() walks through the request list, calling
the callbacks of all pending requests on a channel. Previously, if such
a callback added a new request to the channel, the request list might
not end up empty, causing an abort by assertion failure. The present
commit ensures that precisely all requests present upon entry of
ares_cancel() are cancelled, and that adding new requests through
callbacks is safe.

- cares-functions.m4: add gethostname arg 2 data type check and definition
- cares-functions.m4: update thread-safeness detection of getaddrinfo()
Take in account that POSIX standard Issue 7 drops h_errno support. Now, we also
consider getaddrinfo() to be thread-safe when (_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L) or
(_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700) independently of whether h_errno exists or not.
Take in account that h_errno might be a modifiable lvalue not defined as
a C preprocessor macro.
- setup_once.h: HP-UX <sys/socket.h> issue workaround
Issue: When building a 32bit target with large file support HP-UX
<sys/socket.h> header file may simultaneously provide two different
sets of declarations for sendfile and sendpath functions, one with
static and another with external linkage. Given that we do not use
mentioned functions we really don't care which linkage is the
appropriate one, but on the other hand, the double declaration emmits
warnings when using the HP-UX compiler and errors when using modern
gcc versions resulting in fatal compilation errors.
Mentioned issue is now fixed as long as we don't use sendfile nor
sendpath functions.
- setup_once.h: refactor inclusion of <unistd.h> and <sys/socket.h>
Inclusion of these two header files now done in setup_once.h

Fix UDP and TCP port byte order in saved options.
The UDP and TCP port are stored in network byte order in the
ares_channeldata, but are passed in to ares_init_options() in host byte
order. Thus we must return them from ares_save_options() in host byte
order too, or a duplicated channel will convert them again, leading to a
nonfunctional channel and a mysterious connection refused error from
ares_gethostbyname(). This breaks ares_dup(), thus the curl easy API
when c-ares is used by curl, and thus all the curl easy API's users.

- ares_set_servers_csv: remove unused variables
- init_by_resolv_conf: fix compiler warnings
The code received the return codes in the 'status' variable without
using it. Instead we just ignore those particular errors.
- getv4: Value stored to 'dst' is never read
- advance_tcp_send_queue: avoid NULL ptr dereference
If given a too large 'num_bytes' value, it would cause a NULL ptr
dereference. Instead the code will now break out of the loop at the end
of the list.
- [Peter Pentchev brought this change]
configure: fix a bashism
- cleanup: avoid unsafe typecasts
Avoid the risk of reading 16bit data from an unaligned address by using
a macro that is adapted for this.
- [Stefan Bühler brought this change]
ares_expand_name: Fix encoded length for indirect root
Yang Tse (18 Dec 2010)
- build: add some explicit file references to VS project files
- config-win32: provide HAVE_ASSERT_H definition
- build: include ares_nowarn in sample program VS project files
- build: include ares_nowarn among SAMPLESOURCES and SAMPLEHEADERS
- configure: temporarily disable detection of system's inet_ntop()
This is done to allow compilation of ares_inet_ntop() by some daily
builds picky compilers that otherwise do not need this function.
- changes: mention last fix
- ares_inet_ntop: remove definition and usage of macro SPRINTF
Existing definition of SPRINTF always resulted in sprintf() being used,
and sprintf() returning 'int' is already used throughout the library.
- ares_inet_ntop: reapply changes from previous c-ares version (III)
- Replace 'u_char' with 'unsigned char'.
- Replace 'u_int' with 'unsigned int'.
- use macros ERRNO and SET_ERRNO() for errno handling.
- ares_inet_ntop: reapply changes from previous c-ares version (II)
- Remove rcsid.
- Adjust header file inclusions.
- ares_inet_ntop used only on systems without a proper inet_ntop function.
- ares_inet_ntop: reapply changes from previous c-ares version (I)
- Replace tabs with spaces.
- Use ANSI C style for function declarations and definitions.
- Use sizeof with parentheses.
- ares_inet_ntop: fix off by one error triggering out of bounds write
ares_inet_ntop would trigger an out of bounds write when the representation
of the address required 15 characters, due to not taking in account null
termination character.
Full import of inet_ntop.c from bind-9.5.3rc1 to pull additional fixes.
- ares_nowarn: add conditional inclusion of assert.h header
- fix compiler warning: conversion may lose significant bits
- ares_inet_net_pton: fix non-rejection of some malformed literals
ares_inet_net_pton would return wrong values when excessively large,
and invalid, netmasks are used. Fixes are from bind-9.5.3rc1,
issue also described in the WLB-2008080064 advisory.
- setup_once: provide ISASCII macro
- configure: inet_net_pton function check adjustments
Define HAVE_INET_NET_PTON only when system's inet_net_pton function is IPv6
capable and is not affected by the WLB-2008080064 advisory.
HAVE_INET_NET_PTON_IPV6 is no longer defined nor used.
- ares_init: fix detection of semicolon comments in resolv.conf
File resolv.conf may either use a hash '#' or a semicolon ';' character as an
indication that the rest of the line is a comment. This fixes not recognizing
the semicolon as a valid comment indicator in resolv.conf.
- version: start working on 1.7.5
Version 1.7.4 (8 Dec 2010)
Daniel Stenberg (8 Dec 2010)
- release-preps: CHANGES and RELEASE-NOTES synced

- build: provide SIZEOF_SIZE_T netware definition
- ares_gethostbyaddr: fix compiler warning: conversion may lose significant bits

ares_parse_a_reply: fix CNAME response parsing
Reply to a CNAME query doesn't contain addresses, causing
ares_parse_a_reply() to bail out with ARES_ENODATA
Bug: http://groups.google.com/group/nodejs/browse_thread/thread/a1268c9ea5e9ad9b
Yang Tse (1 Dec 2010)
- fix compiler warning: conversion may lose significant bits
- atoi: remove atoi usage
- ares_init: fix compiler warning: conversion may lose significant bits
- configure: fix autoconf warning
- inet_pton: fix compiler warning
- configure: use autobuilds to temporarily verify strict aliasing warnings.
Temporarily, When cross-compiling with gcc 3.0 or later, enable strict aliasing
rules and warnings. Given that cross-compiled targets autobuilds do not run the
test-suite, there is no risk of running code that violates strict aliasing rules
- ares_getnameinfo: Partially revert commit 85520d66e0ac7ac73411bc25e98769a88b2f
Upon socket address family and length validation failure return ARES_ENOTIMP
in callback again, this is the error code documented in man page and used
mostly all over the library.
- ares_getnameinfo: Validate socket address family and length.
Validate socket address family and that the socket address length is appropriate
for the specified family. Failure is reported with ARES_EBADFAMILY in callback.
- ares_getnameinfo: fix two compiler warnings
- Added another VS10 version string
- Fix GCC 4 compiler warning 'dereferencing type-punned pointer might break strict-aliasing rules'.
- Revert commit 494274e653936335c255a47599970de3df21e7c4
- configure: fix autoconf 2.68 warning: no AC_LANG_SOURCE call detected in body
- Fix compiler warning: array subscript has type 'char'
- Fix GCC 4 compiler warning 'dereferencing type-punned pointer might break strict-aliasing rules'.
- Revert following commits:
07bc7ea79509bcc9ef6e09151e81766ed00d3392
3392a50ea3f8573ea4b7a9d82b9833dab60cb0e9
9912637d32c9987719a1ea12db591aee2941891c
The purpose of the whole patch was to silence a compiler warning triggered
with GCC 4 on file ares_process.c The specific compiler warning was
'dereferencing type-punned pointer might break strict-aliasing rules'.
A simpler patch will follow to equally silence the warning.
- ares_options: reorder header inclusions to make inclusion of
ares_private.h the last included one again.

adig: fix NAPTR parsing
I ran across a small "issue" in your adig example.
It is simply the last part of the NAPTR record, the replacement element,
which is not a string, as currently handled in adig, but a domain name.
- ares_save_options: assignments instead of memcpy
- init_by_options: don't copy an empty sortlist
If there aren't any sort items to copy, don't bother. Without this
little precaution it would do a malloc(0) which causes undefined
behaviors and is frowned upon by curl's memdebug-system.

Fix lookup with HOSTALIASES set.
ares__read_line returns ARES_EOF when it reaches the end of the
file. This will happen every time when reading to the end of the
HOSTALIASES file. Unfortunately single_domain treats this error as
being fatal.

- ares_set_servers_csv: use ISDIGIT
The IS*() set of macros are preferred to the regular is*() functions as
they help us avoid the most common pitfalls.
