If sending a DNS request fails with an error (e.g., when mistakenly trying
to send it to a local IP broadcast), such a request is not deleted if there
are clients waiting on it. However, it was still erroneously removed from
the queue. Later ngx_resolver_cleanup_tree() attempted to remove it from
the queue again that resulted in a NULL pointer dereference.
if (rn->waiting) {
- if (ngx_resolver_send_query(r, rn) == NGX_OK) {
+ (void) ngx_resolver_send_query(r, rn);
- rn->expire = now + r->resend_timeout;
+ rn->expire = now + r->resend_timeout;
- ngx_queue_insert_head(queue, &rn->queue);
- }
+ ngx_queue_insert_head(queue, q);
continue;
}
