Package: ddclient
Version: 3.6.2-3.1
Severity: important
In line 1413 there is a socket created without specifying
a timeout parameter.
This might lead to a stalled read() when the connection drops
during the network operation and to a hanging ddclient
process which does not update the ip addresses any more.
On 4 Sites we observed about 1 hang per month.
Suggestion:
Change this line 1413:
} elsif (! defined($sd = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr => $peer, PeerPort =>
$port, Proto => 'tcp'))) {
to:
} elsif (! defined($sd = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr => $peer, PeerPort =>
$port, Proto => 'tcp', Timeout => opt('timeout') ))) {
