Issue ID: 9593 Summary: excessive null check in set_chase() Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: grapvar@gmail.com Target Milestone: ---

Looks like slap_set_join( cp, nset, '|', vals ) can't return null, so return value at line 411 should be treated like one at line 402:

servers/slapd/sets.c:399, set_chase():

for ( i = 0; !BER_BVISNULL( &set[ i ] ); i++ ) { vals = gatherer( cp, &set[ i ], desc ); if ( vals != NULL ) { /*402: */ nset = slap_set_join( cp, nset, '|', vals ); } } ber_bvarray_free_x( set, cp->set_op->o_tmpmemctx );

if ( closure ) { for ( i = 0; !BER_BVISNULL( &nset[ i ] ); i++ ) { vals = gatherer( cp, &nset[ i ], desc ); if ( vals != NULL ) { /*411: */ nset = slap_set_join( cp, nset, '|', vals ); if ( nset == NULL ) { break; } } } }

If I'm wrong, return value at line 402 must be checked for null.
