[ruby-core:28320] [Bug #2785] Resolv::DNS Requester#request not checking for nil result

From: Paul Clegg <redmine@...>
Date: 2010-02-23 20:38:59 UTC
List: ruby-core #28320
Bug #2785: Resolv::DNS Requester#request not checking for nil result
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2785

Author: Paul Clegg
Status: Open, Priority: Normal
Category: lib
ruby -v: ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [x86_64-linux]

We've been using Resolv::DNS for some heavy-duty DNS querying, and came across this exception:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/resolv.rb:630:in `request': undefined method `data' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

Although we haven't been able to reproduce it consistently, looking at the code, there are two ways this scenario can happen:

1.  Within the timeout period, all the messages received failed to decode for one reason or another.
2.  All the messages received were the results for other DNS queries.

In either case, the local variable 's' is never assigned (or is assigned 'nil') so the final "return msg, s.data" results in a NoMethodError exception.

I'm not sure if it should return "nil" if no valid result is returned, or raise a more specific exception (such as DecodeError), but dereferencing nil definitely seems like a bug.
