>Description:
If a multicast caller does an IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP followed by a
IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, often an uninitialized filter is used for the
in_mfilter passed to in_joingroup_locked() in netinet/in_mcast.c.
The IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP and IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP have simple in_mreq input,
and are not using SSM or any of the new IGMPv3 features.
>How-To-Repeat:
This results in the following behavior shown by ifmcstat. Before the
drop + add you can see the following groups for the northstar1
interface. Note that 224.0.0.5 (ie: OSPF-ALL.MCAST.NET) is subscribed
with an empty exclude filter as you would expect from simple ASM mode:
> > # ifmcstat -i northstar1
> > northstar1:
> > inet 172.28.1.66
> > igmpv3 flags=0<> rv 2 qi 125 qri 10 uri 3
> > group 224.0.0.5 mode exclude
> > group 224.0.0.1 mode exclude
After the drop + add, it looks like the following. Note that now
224.0.0.5 is subscribed with an empty *include* filter which results in
no packets received.
