Bug#526823: libc6 2.9-9 broke DNS resolver again
Package: libc6
Version: 2.9-9
Severity: normal
Hello, I was affected by the resolver bug that was solved in 2.9-7; as of 2.9-9
the resolver stopped working again. The automatic workaround that is mentioned
in the changelog is not working, and "single-request" in resolv.conf doesn't
seem to have any effect either.
Here's a dump of the resolver trying to get the address of google.com:
14:11:00.754265 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 45448, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 60)
10.0.0.3.60486 > 10.0.0.138.53: [udp sum ok] 39108+ A? www.google.com. (32)
14:11:00.754303 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 45449, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 60)
10.0.0.3.60486 > 10.0.0.138.53: [udp sum ok] 48015+ AAAA? www.google.com. (32)
14:11:00.759312 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 1324, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 60)
10.0.0.138.53 > 10.0.0.3.60486: [udp sum ok] 48015 NotImp q: AAAA? www.google.com. 0/0/0 (32)
14:11:00.817710 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 1325, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 144)
10.0.0.138.53 > 10.0.0.3.60486: 39108 q: A? www.google.com. 5/0/0 www.google.com. CNAME www.l.google.com.[|domain]
The DNS server (it's my ADSL router) responds NotImp to the AAAA query (it does
not support IPv6). The reply (CNAME) to the A query seems correct though.
