Package: openarena-server
Version: 0.8.8-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
as i have hinted in my last report to #664637, there are at least two
different kind of bugs which can lead to a server crash.
This one is reproducible with Debian's standard configuration.
*How to reproduce the crash?*
1. Join the server and open the ingame console with Shift+ESC or ~.
2. Ask for a vote to kick a non-existing player on the server like
\callvote kick pullo
if pullo is a player who does not play on the server.
3. Result: Segmentation Fault and server crash
The crash always occurs if the callvote name differs from the actual player
names.
If you ask for a callvote and if you leave the field for the player
name blank, then the following message can be found in the log file.
NET_CompareBaseAdr: bad address type
As far as i can tell the clientkick id-command, which you can use
from the ingame menu, works as intended.
*Quick solution*
Disable the vote option to kick a player from the server in
/etc/openarena-server/server.cfg. The default value is:
set g_voteNames
/map_restart/nextmap/map/g_gametype/kick/clientkick/g_doWarmup/timelimit/fraglimit/shuffle
If you remove kick from the line the callvote option to kick another
player is disabled and nobody can crash the server anymore.
set g_voteNames
/map_restart/nextmap/map/g_gametype/clientkick/g_doWarmup/timelimit/fraglimit/shuffle
*Attachments*
I've attached my debug log files and the backtrace from gdb. It seems
that the if-condition in code/game/g_cmds.c line 1818 is never true
although the player doesn't exist. Somehow the server doesn't check
carefully enough if a player exists or not.
Kind regards
Markus Koschany
