Although I agree that the name: "GSS_C_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGS" is misleading,
I can't identify anything else that seems more appropriate.

The header file: /jdk8-tl/jdk/src/share/native/sun/security/jgss/wrapper/gssapi.h defines GSS_C_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGS as follows:
#define GSS_C_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGS ((gss_channel_bindings_t) 0)

The symbol matches the prototype of the function:

   */*
     * Utility routine which creates a gss_channel_bindings_t structure
     * using the specified org.ietf.jgss.ChannelBinding object.
     */
   gss_channel_bindings_t getGSSCB(JNIEnv *env, jobject jcb) {
      gss_channel_bindings_t cb;
      jobject jinetAddr;
      jbyteArray value;

      if (jcb == NULL) {
        return GSS_C_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGS;
      }
        cb = malloc(sizeof(struct gss_channel_bindings_struct));

        if(cb == NULL)
            return  GSS_C_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGS;*

There doesn't appear to be anything in our set of options that is more suggestive of a memory allocation failure and the symbol: GSS_C_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGS seems to be logically correct.

Ideas?

John,

Not sure GSS_C_NO_CHANNEL_BINDINGS; is correct return value for this case.

I'm second to Valerie - it's better to throw OOM

Greetings:

I modified the native code to eliminate potential memory loss and crashes by 
checking the return values of malloc() and realloc() calls.

The webrev image of these changes is visible at:

Thanks!
