[Freeswitch-users] origin/master's HEAD is segfaulting

[arif hossain]

Hi,

I'm on this commit :
arif at khost:~/src/freeswitch$ git show HEAD
commit f8122e39c51240b99bf07a767afe2f8a698f1486

Now its segfaulting on startup.

>From generated core :

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0  0x00007f245cc28df1 in su_casematch (s1=0x7f245cc7fc57 "",

224        unsigned char a = *s1++, b = *s2++;

Clearly s2 is wrongly initialized.

The backtrace :

In tport_server_addrinfo() :

(gdb) list tport_server_addrinfo
...
1800                  char const * const transports[],
...
...
1811      for (i = 0, N = 0; transports[i] && N < TPORT_N; i++) {
1812        su_addrinfo_t *ai = &hints[N];
1813   
1814        if (!su_casematch(protocol, transports[i]) && !su_strmatch(protocol, "*"))

So char const * const transports[] is not correctly initialized before using its values in the for loop.

(gdb) p transports[0]
$3 = 0x3000000030 <Address 0x3000000030 out of bounds>
(gdb) p transports[1]
$4 = 0x7f245c958d00 "`\215\225\\$\177"

So transports[0] is the problematic initialization here.

Going back further, in libs/sofia-sip/libsofia-sip-ua/nta/nta.c: 2150

   char const * const * tports = tports_sip;

And here

(gdb) ptype tports_sip
type = const char * const[5]
(gdb) p tports_sip[0]
$6 = 0x7f245cc7fc38 "udp"
(gdb) p tports[0]
$7 = 0x3000000030 <Address 0x3000000030 out of bounds>
(gdb) ptype tports_sip
type = const char * const[5]
(gdb) p tports
$11 = (const char * const *) 0x7f245c9589c0
(gdb) p &tports_sip
$12 = (const char * const(*)[5]) 0x7f245cebf660 <tports_sip>

As it can be seen, tports diverged from initial tports_sip.
It has been done in following snippet :

 2197       if (strchr(tp, ',')) {
 2198                   int i; char *t, *tps[9] = {0};
 2199
 2200         /* Split tp into transports */
 2201         for (i = 0, t = tp; t && i < 8; i++) {
 2202           tps[i] = t;
 2203           if ((t = strchr(t, ',')))
 2204             *t++ = '\0';
 2205         }
 2206
 2207         tps[i] = NULL;
 2208         tports = (char const * const *)tps;


Now :

(gdb) p tp
$20 =   "udp\000tcp\000H\215\225\\$\177\000\000\240\252\354\\"..

So above code should parse "udp" in tports[0]. Which is not the case here.

I'm assuming this bug has to generated from a more higher level, rather than happened in a file which has not been touched since 2006( I git blamed it).

But bt does not have any calls to "non-sofia" stuff.

This su_casematch() was called from two threads,

  4    Thread 0x7f245eccb700 (LWP 7622) 0x00007f245cc28df1 in su_casematch (
    s1=0x7f245cc7fc57 "", s2=0x3000000030 <Address 0x3000000030 out of bounds>)
    at su_string.c:224

* 1    Thread 0x7f245c959700 (LWP 7623) 0x00007f245cc28df1 in su_casematch (
    s1=0x7f245cc7fc57 "", s2=0x3000000030 <Address 0x3000000030 out of bounds>)
    at su_string.c:224


Both calls to su_casematch seems problematic.

Sorry for a long BUGREPORT. Actually i thought i should post  my investigation if it helps the devs(After git blaming, i highly suspect that my investigation unearthed nothing , problem generated from elsewhere, which i could not find).

I've not started git bisecting. If it helps, i will be happy to do that.
