[New-bugs-announce] [issue17269] getaddrinfo segfaults on OS X when provided with invalid arguments combinations

[Johan Tibell]

New submission from Johan Tibell:

The following call to getaddrinfo makes Python segfault:

$ python
Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 20 2012, 16:23:33) 
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-418.0.60)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import socket
>>> socket.getaddrinfo("localhost", None, 0, 0, 0, socket.AI_NUMERICSERV)
Segmentation fault: 11

The combination of no port (None) and socket.AI_NUMERICSERV makes no sense (I used it by mistake) but we probably don't want to segfault anyway.
