Hello, I found an array index out of bounds bug in ngx_inet_add_addr()
function.
In my case, I want to use ngx_parse_url(cf->pool, u) twice to update my
address.
Consider this situation, my twice function call argument u: u->url.data is
string
of ip address, and then, call trace is

ngx_inet_add_addr (src/core/ngx_inet.c#L1274)
ngx_parse_inet_url (src/core/ngx_inet.c#L968)
ngx_parse_url (src/core/ngx_inet.c#L700)

In first ngx_parse_url() call, u->url.data ip address will successfully add
to u->addrs array,
and u->naddrs will be increased to 1. And then the second
call ngx_parse_url(),
u->url.data ip address add to u->addrs array, Because of in first call
n->naddrs was
increased to 1, so this time our update ip address will add to
u->addrs[1], but u->addrs
array were allocated 1 * sizeof(ngx_addr_t).

src/core/ngx_inet.c#L1275 u->addrs = ngx_palloc(pool, total * nports *
sizeof(ngx_addr_t));

So the second time I call this function will cause memory error, and it may
even make the program crashes.

In order to avoid this bug, We need to check index of u->addrs.
Could you help me check where there is a problem? Thanks!
