Description
Tested with r11401 and r11420 (latest).
oscam.conf:
failbancount = 0
failbantime = 60
oscam.user:
hostname = <FQDN>
If during failbantime, the FQDN of a client changes, he will be blocked during that time since DNS server IP propagation takes some time. If prior failban time termination, the FQDN changes again, I get a "oscam <defunct>" task (zombie). It is the second of the 2 shown "oscam" tasks ("ps -e"). This doesn't happen immediately - sometimes only after 30 minutes. But the bug is reproducible!
The webif indication of a crashed task is when the Failban list shows "00:00:00" for the client who changed FQDN.
All this occurs only when failbantime != 0.
Here a simulation:
top - 14:58:18 up 3 days, 18:21, 2 users, load average: 0.17, 0.23, 0.20 Tasks: 111 total, 1 running, 110 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Client FQDN change.
Client shows up in Failban list.
No zombie yet!
top - 15:04:36 up 3 days, 18:27, 3 users, load average: 0.08, 0.12, 0.15 Tasks: 114 total, 1 running, 113 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Another client FQDN change.
Client shows up with 2 IPs in Failban list.
Still no zombie!
top - 15:24:20 up 3 days, 18:47, 3 users, load average: 0.01, 0.04, 0.08 Tasks: 114 total, 1 running, 113 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
After 13 minutes ...
top - 15:37:58 up 3 days, 19:00, 3 users, load average: 1.09, 0.60, 0.28 Tasks: 115 total, 1 running, 113 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie
> ps -e | grep oscam 1604 ? 00:00:00 oscam 1606 ? 04:44:37 oscam <defunct>
Having this knowledge, a client can crash a server!
