#47360 Delete attribute could crash the server
Closed: wontfix None Opened 10 years ago by nhosoi.

It was found when disabling NT User Attribute of a user sync'ed from AD on Console. But the fact it is an NT user should not be so important. If you disable NT User Attribute, it deletes quite a number of attributes at once, which is more essential in this crash, I think.

An error in the error log:
[14/May/2013:12:42:31 -0700] - entry2str_internal_ext: array boundary wrote: bufsize=1606 wrote=1893

I wonder the allocated length (elen) is not large enough to store the deleted attribute values with the state info? That is, the attribute value length with delete state info is longer than the original?

1813 static char *
1814 entry2str_internal_ext( Slapi_Entry *e, int *len, int entry2str_ctrl)
   [...]
1863         ecur = ebuf = (char *)slapi_ch_malloc(elen);
   [...]
        ecur = ebuf = (char *)slapi_ch_malloc(elen);
   [...]
1880         /* Put the deleted attributes */
1881         if(entry2str_ctrl & SLAPI_DUMP_STATEINFO)
1882         {
1883             entry2str_internal_put_attrlist(e->e_deleted_attrs,
1884                                             ATTRIBUTE_DELETED, entry2str_ctrl,
1885                                             &ecur, &typebuf, &typebuf_len );
1886         }

Here is the current status

  • because of the log (entry2str_internal_ext: array boundary wrote: bufsize=1606 wrote=1893)
    we know that allocated buffer was not large enough to fit all the wrote characters. Also the difference is large (almost 300 bytes). If we remove ~ 300 values, it could be the result of a missing last '\0' character or something like that.

  • Reading the code I did not find anything suspicious (not a surprise :) )

Here are the next steps

  • I do not know if the problem is reproducible, I will try with a simple test case. But as this is in a very used portion of code, I doubt I will be able to reproduce.

  • Have to check if the core is still available

Here is the current status

  • I failed to reproduce the problem. I tested with various kind of rdn (single/multivalued '+'), with rdn containing '"' and escaped characters. For all the tests the amount of booked memory was larger than the amount of written bytes. I also unsuccessfully tried with empty attributes value, base64 encoded and encrypted.

Here are the next steps

  • check if the core is still available
  • try to reproduce with some samples of such entries and config (schema/dse.ldif
