Hi everyone at Puppetlabs,

if have run into an issue with facter recently on macOS which took me quite a while to debug. I think I have found the issue. Thanks for all your hard work! Paul

Problem:
Facter crashes if networking host name ist set to integer value on macOS:
[BUG] Segmentation fault at 0x0000000000000000
See facter_2020-01-30-122105_400153.crash for more information.

Expected outcome:
Facter would successfully run and display networking facts of queries system.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Set macOS host name to integer value
    sudo scutil --set HostName 12345
  2. Run facter networking, the error occurs
    facter networking
  3. Set macOS host name to include at least one non-integer value
    sudo scutil --set HostName 1234A
  4. Re-run facter networking, the problem disappears
    facter networking
