os_confinfo causing segmentation fault ....
« on: September 11, 2007, 06:44:19 PM »
Hi All,
Installed os_confinfo module (Anope 1.7.19 on Unreal3.2.6) and on use it causes services to fail with the message

' Global -- from services.surrealchat.co.uk: PANIC! buffer = :administrator PRIVMSG OperServ@services.surrealchat.co.uk :confinfo nick'

Starting services in debug mode shows 'Sementation Fault (core dumped)'

I am able to restart services without problem, reload os_confinfo and everything is fine again .. until I use any command for confinfo again.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, as the module is of great use to me.
Thanks in advance,
Rob.

The same for me (Unreal3.2.7 and Anope 1.7.19) for the command /msg operserv confinfo basic, but my comment on the modules site for this has been deleted! :(

That is because you seemed to have missed or ignored this: "NOTE: Please do not ask for help here! If you have an issue with a module, please post it on the forum. If you have found a severe bug, please contact the author directly."

this note applies to ALL modules on the entire site, not just mine. It's a comments system, not a bug report system.

At anyrate, I need debug logs and or a full backtrace showing what happens because I have no problems with the module.

Okay the segfault

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xb7c0d349 in free () from /lib/libc.so.6
(gdb) bt
#0  0xb7c0d349 in free () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1  0xb7a794ed in do_confstart (u=0x83d3f68) at os_confinfo.c:426
#2  0x080679ab in do_run_cmd (service=0x80d9c58 "OperServ", u=0x83d3f68, c=0x83d5e80, cmd=0xbfdb8f10 "confinfo") at commands.c:101

The reason.. you can't free what is an int pointer..

char *my_userdb = NULL;

   Directive confvalues26[] = {
       { "UseRDB", { { PARAM_SET, PARAM_RELOAD, &my_userdb } } }
   };

once passed to the parser my_userdb becomes an int pointer, not a char pointer, you can not free what is an int, redeclare as

int my_userdb = 0;

and remove the free(my_userdb); and your segfaults will go away

Quick scan of the code says there is a segfault waiting to happen at

my_bscasesensitive <-- int pointer

I've rolled back all changes made for versions 2.2 and 2.3x. The latest publiclly available version is 2.1, which is before I fixed warnings issued to alog and/or LogChan about not enough parameters.

Once I get a proper fix for the warnings that does not cause segfaults, I'll release it. Anyone using 2.2 or 2.3x should revert to 2.1 or use at your own risk!

There will be no further support for 2.2 or 2.3x until further notice.
