--------------------------------
Summary: Crash when enumerating HostDB records in HostDB UI
Key: TS-3942
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-3942
Project: Traffic Server
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HostDB
Reporter: Brian Geffon
When using the show all feature of hostdb ui it will periodically crash when
enumerating round robin dns records. This is because of a new permanent
hostname field that I added a while back so that we have the hostname of all
hostdb records. The problem is that when allocating each HostDBInfo structure
for the round robin entry the code doesn't currently memset() the entire
structure (it does in the SRV record case but for some reason not the RR case).
This means that in certain situations if we were unlucky the memory would be
initialized to random memory and at some point down the road it would result in
a crash in UnsunkPtrRegistry::ptr as seen in the stack trace below.
