Package: nmap
Version: 7.01-2
Severity: important
(renders package unusable, but only for an unlucky minority of users)
Hi,
my system configuration includes a firewire network device, so nmap fails to
find any interface whatsoever:
=====
root@inti:/tmp# nmap --iflist -d3
Starting Nmap 7.01 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2016-04-20 13:49 CEST
Fetchfile found /usr/bin/../share/nmap/nmap-services
PORTS: Using top 1000 ports found open (TCP:1000, UDP:0, SCTP:0)
INTERFACES: NONE FOUND(!)
Reason: getinterfaces_dnet: intf_loop() failed
ROUTES: NONE FOUND(!)
Reason: getsysroutes_dnet: sysroutes_dnet_find_interfaces() failed
=====
(Low-level reason if of interest: addr_ston() has a switch{} on supported
sa_family types, and that firewire interface comes in as (ignore the members
after sin_family, interpretation as sockaddr_in is obviously misleading)
=====
Breakpoint 1, 0x00000000004d8bb0 in addr_ston ()
(gdb) p/x *(struct sockaddr_in *)$rdi
$9 = {sin_family = 0x18, sin_port = 0xdef0, sin_addr = {s_addr = 0x636cfff1},
sin_zero = {0x40, 0xff, 0xa, 0x2, 0x0, 0x1, 0x0, 0x0}}
=====
for which (0x18 == ARPHRD_IEEE1394) there's no case.)
There have been occurrences of this behaviour before[1][2], and it's
ridiculous. The implementation of libdnet's _intf_loop() relies on every
single _intf_get_noalias() and _intf_get_aliases() call to succeed, which
means that if a single address interpretation through addr_ston() fails, the
whole scan comes up empty.
Instead the scan should just ignore unenumerable interfaces and report the
others - that way new link types don't break libdnet (and thus nmap) for
everybody who happens to have such interfaces.
A patch might look like this[att1]. With that applied, nmap --iflist shows
the desired list of interfaces (except for firewire0, as expected) again.
Thanks!
Jan

Description: ignore errors when enumerating interfaces
When _intf_get_noalias() or _intf_get_aliases() fail, that usually means
that addr_ston() failed to grab the address for a certain family. As new
address families pop up all the time it seems ridiculous that failing to
parse a single address type should render the whole interface scan empty.
Instead the interface should just be skipped and the other interfaces
reported properly.
