how many IP aliases
Hi guys. Can anyone tell me what is the limit for how many IP aliases can be setup on the same ethernet card? Is there a global limit for the total number of aliases in the OS? To be clear: one needs 128 IPs (for irc vhosts) to be setup on one server. Is that impossible? Thanks!

fopen(file,a)
Hey folks.
Running FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE
I am just wondering:
man fopen
---man---
Upon successful completion fopen(), fdopen() and freopen() return a
FILE pointer. Otherwise, NULL is returned and the global variable errno is
set to indicate the error.
---man---
However, the following snippet:
--snip--
FILE *fp_queue;
if ( (fp_queue=fopen(fqueue,a)) ==NULL);//will wait for locks
{
perror(fopen(fqueue,\a\));
//exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
--snip--
Has the following output:
--dump--
fopen(fqueue,a): Unknown error: 0
--dump--
With that said, commenting out the exit() and using fputs() to write to
the file works smoothly, data is written correctly, and no error is barked
out. Same goes for fprintf().
The snippet is so small, but I did learn that it's good to ask: am I doing
something wrong, or is there something else wrong?
Any suggestion is gratefully appreciated.
Regards,

No, that's still not quite it... char[16] allocates exactly 16 characters. Period. There's no extra space on the end for the terminating nul. If you try to put a sixteen character string into this array, the terminating nul will slop over onto whatever follows this array in memory. malloc(16) is essentially the same. The difference is that there might not be something right there to be clobbered. malloc tends to round up the number of bytes to something convenient. It's easier to manage a pool of things that are all the same size than a zillion different sizes. 16 is pretty small -- the linux malloc might round everything smaller than 20 bytes or 24 bytes (why 20 or 24? That's another story...) to 20 or 24 bytes bytes just to make its life easier. Therefore it's giving you four extra bytes and the nul can clobber them without causing you to notice the bug. -Dan Yes.

wireless usb atmel driver
Hi folks!
I am killing myself trying to compile http://www.vitsch.net/bsd/atuwi/
driver on 5.2.1-RELEASE.
The driver is written for 5.1. I also received working sources from the
author, for 5.2.1-RELEASE but they don't compile.
I would really appreciate any hints.
I want to ask you if there is any difference between
net/if_ieee80211.h and dev/owi/if_ieee80211.h, because I had to
modify the source and use the later, so I wonder if this could be
affecting the compilation.
Also, after fixing the include I get stuck at this point:

Where one can easely look and see that line 275 is:

wireless usb atmel driver
Hi folks!
I am killing myself trying to compile http://www.vitsch.net/bsd/atuwi/
driver on 5.2.1-RELEASE.
The driver is written for 5.1. I also received working sources from the
author, for 5.2.1-RELEASE but they don't compile.
I would really appreciate any hints.
I want to ask you if there is any difference between
net/if_ieee80211.h and dev/owi/if_ieee80211.h, because I had to
modify the source and use the later, so I wonder if this could be
affecting the compilation.
Also, after fixing the include I get stuck at this point:
In file included from /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/if_atuwi.c:82:
@/dev/usb/if_atuwireg.h:275: warning: declaration does not declare anything
Where one can easely look and see that line 275 is:
---cut---
SLIST_HEAD(atuwi_list_head, atuwi_chain);
---cut---
That is part of the following context:
---cut---
struct atuwi_chain {
struct atuwi_softc *atuwi_sc;
usbd_xfer_handleatuwi_xfer;
char*atuwi_buf;
struct mbuf *atuwi_mbuf;

u_int16_t atuwi_length;
#ifdef ATUWI_LAZY_TX_NETISR
u_int8_tatuwi_not_freed;
#endif /* ATUWI_LAZY_TX_NETISR */
SLIST_ENTRY(atuwi_chain)atuwi_list;
};
struct atuwi_cdata {
struct atuwi_chain atuwi_tx_chain[ATUWI_TX_LIST_CNT];
struct atuwi_chain atuwi_rx_chain[ATUWI_RX_LIST_CNT];
struct atuwi_chain atuwi_mgmt_chain[ATUWI_MGMT_LIST_CNT];

short analysys of qmail integer overflow bug - let there be light
Hey folks.
There are rumors out there that setting /var/qmail/control/databytes to
a reasonable value (for example 16384 = 16MB) will prevent the
possibility of exploitation regarding the integer overflow in function
blast().
That is not true.
This is how blast() is called:
void smtp_data() {
int hops;
unsigned long qp;
char *qqx;
if (!seenmail) { err_wantmail(); return; }
if (!rcptto.len) { err_wantrcpt(); return; }
seenmail = 0;
if (databytes) bytestooverflow = databytes + 1;
if (qmail_open(qqt) == -1) { err_qqt(); return; }
qp = qmail_qp(qqt);
out(354 go ahead\r\n);
received(qqt,SMTP,local,remoteip,remotehost,remoteinfo,fakehelo);
blast(hops);
hops = (hops = MAXHOPS);
if (hops) qmail_fail(qqt);
qmail_from(qqt,mailfrom.s);
qmail_put(qqt,rcptto.s,rcptto.len);
qqx = qmail_close(qqt);
if (!*qqx) { acceptmessage(qp); return; }
if (hops) { out(554 too many hops, this message is looping
(#5.4.6)\r\n); return; }
if (databytes) if (!bytestooverflow) { out(552 sorry, that message
size exceeds my databytes limit (#5.3.4)\r\n); return; }
if (*qqx == 'D') out(554 ); else out(451 );
out(qqx + 1);
out(\r\n);
}
So you see, the input value is only checked against the databytes limit
*after* the function blast() is called. The overflow resides in function
blast(), thus even setting databytes to 1 (lowest possible value) will
not prevent the overflow to happen. People should not comment a bug
without reading the code. (not from this mailing list).
The simplest way to fix is to define pos variable as unsigned int
instead of int, in the blast() function.
What happens in blast()? Here what happens:
Input is read byte by byte, and if input byte != '\n', then pos is
incremented. This is a neverending loop, without any logical tests.
Thus, pos gets an upper-bounds overflow and becomes negative (because
it is a signed integer). If it is defined as unsigned, it simply becomes
0, and keeps being incremented in a neverending circle loop, untill the
first '\n' is met. This renders any hack attack useless. DOS is
possible, but DOS is possible in many other more effective ways. It's
the way of the Internet protocols.
This is the original blast() function:
void blast(hops)
int *hops;
{
char ch;
int state;
int flaginheader;
/* my comment here: unsigned int pos */
int pos; /* number of bytes since most recent \n, if fih */
int flagmaybex; /* 1 if this line might match RECEIVED, if fih */
int flagmaybey; /* 1 if this line might match \r\n, if fih */
int flagmaybez; /* 1 if this line might match DELIVERED, if fih */
state = 1;
*hops = 0;
flaginheader = 1;
pos = 0; flagmaybex = flagmaybey = flagmaybez = 1;
for (;;) {
substdio_get(ssin,ch,1);
if (flaginheader) {
if (pos 9) {
if (ch != delivered[pos]) if (ch != DELIVERED[pos])
flagmaybez = 0;
if (flagmaybez) if (pos == 8) ++*hops;
if (pos 8)
if (ch != received[pos]) if (ch != RECEIVED[pos])
flagmaybex = 0;
if (flagmaybex) if (pos == 7) ++*hops;
if (pos 2) if (ch != \r\n[pos]) flagmaybey = 0;
if (flagmaybey) if (pos == 1) flaginheader = 0;
}
++pos;
if (ch == '\n') { pos = 0; flagmaybex = flagmaybey = flagmaybez = 1; }
}
switch(state) {
case 0:
if (ch == '\n') straynewline();
if (ch == '\r') { state = 4; continue; }
break;
case 1: /* \r\n */
if (ch == '\n') straynewline();
if (ch == '.') { state = 2; continue; }
if (ch == '\r') { state = 4; continue; }
state = 0;
break;
case 2: /* \r\n + . */
if (ch == '\n') straynewline();
if (ch == '\r') { state = 3; continue; }
state = 0;
break;
case 3: /* \r\n + .\r */
if (ch == '\n') return;
put(.);
put(\r);
if (ch == '\r') { state = 4; continue; }
state = 0;
break;
case 4: /* + \r */
if (ch == '\n') { state = 1; break; }
if (ch != '\r') { put(\r); state = 0; }
}
put(ch);
}
}
One can see that pos is later used as an index for memory location. And
that's all folks. :) I say it is exploitable. Just an opinion.
Cheers to all,
Alin-Adrian Anton.

I forgot to mention about vuln:

Actually that was utterly wrong. I think this works:
bash-2.05b$ diff -a qmail-smtpd.c qmail-smtpd-patched.c
318a319
++pos;
320d320
++pos;
The patched function will look like:
void blast(hops)
int *hops;
{
char ch;
int state;
int flaginheader;
int pos; /* number of bytes since most recent \n, if fih */
int flagmaybex; /* 1 if this line might match RECEIVED, if fih */
int flagmaybey; /* 1 if this line might match \r\n, if fih */
int flagmaybez; /* 1 if this line might match DELIVERED, if fih */
state = 1;
*hops = 0;
flaginheader = 1;
pos = 0; flagmaybex = flagmaybey = flagmaybez = 1;
for (;;) {
substdio_get(ssin,ch,1);
if (flaginheader) {
if (pos 9) {
if (ch != delivered[pos]) if (ch != DELIVERED[pos])
flagmaybez = 0;
if (flagmaybez) if (pos == 8) ++*hops;
if (pos 8)
if (ch != received[pos]) if (ch != RECEIVED[pos])
flagmaybex = 0;
if (flagmaybex) if (pos == 7) ++*hops;
if (pos 2) if (ch != \r\n[pos]) flagmaybey = 0;
if (flagmaybey) if (pos == 1) flaginheader = 0;
++pos;
}
if (ch == '\n') { pos = 0; flagmaybex = flagmaybey = flagmaybez = 1; }
}
switch(state) {
case 0:
if (ch == '\n') straynewline();
if (ch == '\r') { state = 4; continue; }
break;
case 1: /* \r\n */
if (ch == '\n') straynewline();
if (ch == '.') { state = 2; continue; }
if (ch == '\r') { state = 4; continue; }
state = 0;
break;
case 2: /* \r\n + . */
if (ch == '\n') straynewline();
if (ch == '\r') { state = 3; continue; }
state = 0;
break;
case 3: /* \r\n + .\r */
if (ch == '\n') return;
put(.);
put(\r);
if (ch == '\r') { state = 4; continue; }
state = 0;
break;
case 4: /* + \r */
if (ch == '\n') { state = 1; break; }
if (ch != '\r') { put(\r); state = 0; }
}
put(ch);
}
}
So what I did is move ++pos; into the if (pos 9) block. Originally it
is right after the } ending that block.
This works if pos gets incremented as
pos=1,2,.9,10,...,max,...,upper-overflow(negative).
This utterly fails if pos is not incremented like that.
Any ideas? I think it works, after a first look at the incrementation loop.
Sorry for all other mails, I am stressed . (need to calm down i know)
Alin.

woulnd't it be better to switch pos from an int to a u_int ? or do
specific bounds checking before incrementing pos ? this patch seems to
_only_ increment pos if it's 9, and reading the code will show you where
you're going to get into some problems. :)

Here is what my powermeter thinks my desktops are using with various options: System 1 (wavehh, FreeBSD-4-stable): - 1300 MHz Celeron - Asus P2B board - 3x 256 MB ECC modules - 2x Intel 82855 fxp cards - 3.5 Floppy - Promise PCI IDE controller - Matrox G-400 (G-450?) 32 MB dual-head - 35772MB IBM-DPTA-353750 - 76345MB MAXTOR 6L080J4 - DVD-ROM JLMS XJ-HD165H - CD-RW 32X10 at ata1-master WDMA2 Base power consumption with all drives: 99 watts - No drives connected: 82 watts - CD-Writer and DVD each take 1 watt when idle - Maxtor disk takes 8-10 watts - IBM disk takes 6-8 watts - replacing the G-400 with some random plain S3 saves 4 watts - forgot to measure what the fxp cards draw, but they get pretty hot, I assume it is not neglectable System 2: libber, Linux-2.6.0 and Win2K (yes, that's supposed to become my FreeBSD-current system when I figure out why the CD-writer broke on my move): - Asus A7V600 Via KT600 - AMD Athlon XP 2500+ 1.83GHz - 1x 512 MB non-ECC module - ATI Radeon 7500 LE 128 MB incl ventilator - Maxtor 6Y060P0 60 GB drive - TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R5112 (DVD-R writer) - Adaptec 2940 with 3 SCSI CD-ROMS, picked up for $1 each on MIT swapfest - TV card (model escapes me right now) - 8139 Ethernet (doesn't get as hot as the fxp cards) NOTE: this is the new Athlon core, this CPU takes less power than e.g. the 2600+ and 2400+ which are based on the old core. Base system with all drives:148 watts - DVD writer idle:2 watts - 3x SCSI CD:20 watts (ups...) - harddrive 5 watts - no video card:-23 watts (not sure the system goes into proper startup with no video) - replace ATI card with G-400 -15 watts (16 MB card, not the save card as above) - TV card out-6 watts - SCSI card out -1 watt - Realtek 8139 out -1 watt Harddisk activity: find / -name laksjfla: adds 1 watt When Linux is driven with make CPU halt calls when idle the 148 watts go down to 136 when the system is idle, and up from that by 25 watts on drystone munching. Remarks: I assume that you can build a pretty nice powersaving box if you use one of the Intel chipsets with 852/855 GM onboard video. I am surprised the harddrives take so few power, but the numbers are clear. I was near replacing them with notebook drives, glad I measured. Don't pick up 10 year old hardware on flea markets if you want to save power :-) My old 20 Hitachi superscan Elite 751 takes more than twice the power than the new el-cheapo MAG 19. For some reason the AMD box draws about 5 watts when turned off. Power supply change may be a good idea. Transmeta processors and transmeta-based systems are famous for their blinding low-power consumption.
