Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ Fix getifaddrs realloc pointer error

+

+ When a buffer was exhausted and subsequently reallocated, + we could get an unsafe pointer pointing to faulty memory.

+

+ For this to occur we would need to have a large number of + interfaces and a reallocation of memory to a lower + addresses.

+

+ The symptom would be garbage returned from + erlang:port_control(Port, 25, []) + (prim_inet:getifaddrs(Port) resulting in a badarg) or a + segmentation fault.

+ Don't close all file descriptors twice in child_setup

+

+ The commit c2b4eab25c907f453a394d382c04cd04e6c06b49 + introduced an error in which child_setup erroneously + tried to close all file descriptors twice.

+

+ Use closefrom() if available when closing all file + descriptors.

+

+ The function closefrom() was only used in the vfork() + case before but is now also used in the fork() case if + available.

+
+ +

+ During a crashdump all file descriptors are closed to + ensure the closing of the epmd port and to reserve a file + descriptor for the crashdump file.

+

+ If a driver (third party library) cannot handle closing + of sockets this could result in a segmentation fault in + which case a crashdump would not be produced. This is now + fixed by only closing inets sockets via an emergency + close callback to the driver and thus closing the epmd + socket.
