Subject: resolv: Fix ABA race in /etc/resolv.conf change detection [BZ #25420]
X-Git-Url: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=fa00db0a6eb755837ae5d413515e0da582b304f3
resolv: Fix ABA race in /etc/resolv.conf change detection [BZ #25420]
__resolv_conf_get_current should only record the initial file
change data if after verifying that file just read matches the
original measurement. Fixes commit aef16cc8a4c670036d45590877
("resolv: Automatically reload a changed /etc/resolv.conf file
[BZ #984]").
