[jira] Created: (NET-185) Possible NPE in Threader.java

Possible NPE in Threader.java
-----------------------------

                 Key: NET-185
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-185
             Project: Commons Net
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: Fortify
            Reporter: Henri Yandell
             Fix For: 1.5


In Threader.gatherSubjects, it appears to be possible for tail.next = c.child; to be null [line 356]:

	349	 if (old.threadable == null && c.threadable == null) {
	350		// both dummies - merge them
	351		ThreadContainer tail;
	352		for (tail = old.child;
	353		tail != null && tail.next != null;
	354		tail = tail.next);
	355	
	356		tail.next = c.child;

It also seems kind of pointless, given that the subsequent line immediately resets tail to c.child. Perhaps the ; is not intended there?

Rory Winston closed NET-185.
----------------------------

       Resolution: Invalid
    Fix Version/s: 2.1

* c shouldnt be null (its in the iteration condition)
* tail is _not_ set: it is tail.next. The loop is a simple linked-list iterator.

The for loop can exit with tail == null if old.child == null.

You're right. I'll mark this against the next version so it doesn't get forgotten. Thanks!

-----------------------------------

Why closed as "Later" and not left open without a fix version?

Once something is closed I'm not convinced people will notice the issues again.
