If such responses are received, an affected process will + terminate with an error message of "Unexpected error <number> on netlink + descriptor <number>" or "Unexpected netlink response of size <number> on + descriptor <number>". The most likely cause for these errors is a + multi-threaded application which erroneously closes and reuses the netlink + file descriptor while it is used by getaddrinfo. + * A defect in the malloc implementation, present since glibc 2.15 (2012) or glibc 2.10 via --enable-experimental-malloc (2009), could result in the unnecessary serialization of memory allocation requests across threads. |
