#1333 Potential NULL dereference in proxy provider
Closed: Fixed None Opened 11 years ago by jhrozek.

The very first condition is reversed, it must say if (lowercase || alias).

At conditional (3): "!lowercase" taking the false branch.
At conditional (4): "alias" taking the false branch.
 218    if (!lowercase || alias) {
 219        attrs = sysdb_new_attrs(NULL);
 220        if (!attrs) {
 221            DEBUG(SSSDBG_CRIT_FAILURE, ("Allocation error ?!\n"));
 222            return ENOMEM;
 223        }
 224    }
 225
At conditional (5): "lowercase" taking the true branch.
 226    if (lowercase) {
 227        lower = sss_tc_utf8_str_tolower(attrs, pwd->pw_name);
At conditional (6): "!lower" taking the false branch.
 228        if (!lower) {
 229            DEBUG(SSSDBG_CRIT_FAILURE, ("Cannot convert name to lowercase\n"));
 230            talloc_zfree(attrs);
 231            return ENOMEM;
 232        }
 233
Passing null variable "attrs" to function "sysdb_attrs_add_string", which dereferences it. [show details]
 234        ret = sysdb_attrs_add_string(attrs, SYSDB_NAME_ALIAS, lower);

Lowering the priority, upon further inspection I realized that there can't be a case where "alias" is NULL in the current code, so the attrs are always created (which also explains why neither me nor QE hit the potential crash).

We should still get it fixed, though. It's a logic bug.
