Description

When fetching group memberships for a user, if the user is a member of a group that does not have a gidnumber attribute, getgrent.c:getbymember will dereference a NULL pointer because it doesn't check the return value from __ns_ldap_getAttr here: https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/master/usr/src/lib/nsswitch/ldap/common/getgrent.c#L374

As far as I can tell, every other call to __ns_ldap_getAttr has an 'if (result NULL || result[0] NULL)' immediately afterwards.
