[Bug 1945072] Re: getaddrinfo crashes on negative answers after Truncated retry

2021-09-28 Thread Christopher K Brown
In trying to do the work requested for the report, it took a different
turn.  General sequence is still correct, with the following caveat:

- our DNS server added a CNAME record to the truncated UDP reply,
bringing the size to over 512 bytes

The response is well formed, just too big.  Since getaddrinfo never asks
with EDNS, this is not correct and we must fix it - but getaddrifo
shouldn't core on it.  The crash happens downstream of this when the TCP
replies come in, but only sometimes.  I suspect a buffer overrun of some
sort.

If you don't see it through inspection, I will add a pcap.  Might be
possible to replay it or something.  The query which gives such a large
truncated reply is

dig www.iiflstatements.com +ignore +notcp +noedns +qr

which comes in at 502 bytes.  We add a CNAME as the first record in the
answer section, which brings it to 636 bytes.  We will try to do a
little more work to see if we can make it repeatable.

Recap:

- getaddrinfo makes two requests, A and , using UDP and no EDNS
- At least one of the replies to the two requests is truncated
  - The truncated reply has a size greater than 512 bytes, otherwise error-free
- getaddrinfo makes two additional requests, A and , using TCP
- At least one of the the replies to the two TCP requests has an empty answer 
section
  - For example, the response comes back with a REFUSED or SERVFAIL

[Bug 1945072] [NEW] getaddrinfo crashes on negative answers after Truncated retry

2021-09-25 Thread Christopher K Brown
Public bug reported:


Programs using getaddrinfo will segfault downstack of the call in limited 
circumstances.

We have limited this crash to a specific situation, some of these
details may not be relevant to the problem but are included in case they
are:

- getaddrinfo makes two requests, A and , using UDP
- At least one of the replies to the two requests is truncated
- getaddrinfo makes two additional requests, A and , using TCP
- At least one of the the replies to the two TCP requests has an empty answer 
section
  - For example, the response comes back with a REFUSED or SERVFAIL
  - Even a NOERROR with an empty answer section will cause this crash

Sample gai call:

  struct addrinfo* results;
  int ec = getaddrinfo(host.c_str(), "", nullptr, &results);


This is difficult to reproduce without being able to control the replies 
yourself since downstream must give a negative answer on the TCP after 
answering the UDP.  (This can happen, the downstream server can decide not to 
answer for any number of policy reasons.)

Using 18.04.5.  glibc version is 2.27.

[Bug 1643959] [NEW] Unused parameter 'deterministic'

2016-11-22 Thread Christopher K.
Public bug reported:

The current version of protbuf in the Ubuntu 16.10 Repository (3.0.0-7ubuntu3) 
includes this bug:
https://github.com/google/protobuf/issues/2032

"Every message generates an unused parameter warning for bool
deterministic in ::google::protobuf::uint8*
::InternalSerializeWithCachedSizesToArray( bool deterministic,
::google::protobuf::uint8* target) const. "

My project uses -Werror, and thus does not compile in current Ubuntu
because of messages like this:

NSMessage.pb.cc: In member function ‘virtual google::protobuf::uint8* 
NS_Message::InternalSerializeWithCachedSizesToArray(bool, 
google::protobuf::uint8*) const’:
wifi/NSMessage.pb.cc:338:10: error: unused parameter ‘deterministic’ 
[-Werror=unused-parameter]
 bool deterministic, ::google::protobuf::uint8* target) const {
  ^
cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors

I would expect code being created by protobuf does not cause any
warnings or errors.

This issue is fixed in protobuf's git repository with the following commit:
https://github.com/google/protobuf/commit/08b1c718e437041bfe0e6a28611621896e4fe904

I had a similar issue with Ubuntu Gnome after upgrading to 14.10. Had a
double mouse pointer, but only on the main screen, not on the two other
screens. Disabled screens one by one and renabled them and the problem
was solved. Don't know if this is related to your problem, seems more
like a gnome problem and as you are using xfce, it might be something
else.

[Bug 67811] Re: Takes all CPU time

2012-12-01 Thread Christopher K.
I now also added ionice to avoid a lot if io-load on the server being backed up.
My RsyncClientCmd now looks like this:

$sshPath -q -x -l backuppc $host /usr/bin/nice -n 19 /usr/bin/ionice -c2
-n7 /usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList+

-c2 is the "best effort" class and -n7 is the lowest priority in this
class. If you want even less io-load, use the "idle"-class (-c3, without
-n). Note that this might make cause the backup to take much longer (or
even never complete).

Note that you need at least a linux kernel 2.6.13 for ionice as far as I
know.

[Bug 67811] Re: Takes all CPU time

2012-11-27 Thread Christopher K.
"This symptom is not reproducible on fairly recent hardware."

Hmm. That's an interesting statement. First of all, BackupPC does not state 
that we need "fairly recent hardware" in it's requirements:
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#requirements

And I heard PCs from 2006 (when the bug was posted) are still used here or 
there ;-)
And I guess some of them need to be backed up.

And even if we have "fairly recent hardware", some users might want to
work with the computer that is currently backed up while the backup is
running. When you backup a laptop, you might be able to avoid this.
Simply run the backup at night. But if you run a server 24/7, then you
can't tell your visitors from the other side of the earth not to visit
your website at night. So the backup should not affect the load
significantly.

So of course the backup should run with low priority. And (as Neal wrote), it 
is easy to achieve this.
I added "nice"  RsyncClientCmd like this:
$sshPath -q -x -l backuppc $host nice -n 19 /usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList+
Note: Here more things are changed from the default. The username is "backuppc" 
(not root) and sudo is used to run rsync (with user backuppc being allowed to 
run rsync in suoders). The adjusted default would look like this:
$sshPath -q -x -l root $host nice -n 19 $rsyncPath $argList+

As imho "nice" is pretty standard in unix, I guess it might be a good
idea to add this in the default settings.

Same problem here and Ilja's workaround fixed it. I think apt might
delete these files and try again when this error happens. As this seems
to be easy to fix automatically, I think apt should be able to fix it
without any user interaction.

[Bug 760632] Re: Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system

2011-08-31 Thread Christopher K.
First: Please do not quote full entries. This bug report is already full
of hundreds of posts so we do not need to have all those fully quoted.

I did not want to distinguish between blaming and criticising. I simply
meant that canonical is not responsible for kubuntu.

Because kde is _not_ officially supported by canonical. It's in the
universe repositories. This means it's maintained by the community and
not by canonical. There is so much software in the universe repository
and one company can never be responsible for all these packages. The
buggy driver might be in the restricted repositories with software
supported by canonical but if this bug does not affect ubuntu, it is not
a critical ubuntu bug. If you want to rely on what canonical does, just
install ubuntu.

I will not respond to any response regarding this discussion because I
think further discussion is meaningless.

We all agree that the fix for this bug should be released in the
repositories as fast as possible.

[Bug 760632] Re: Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system

2011-08-31 Thread Christopher K.
@ Julio A. Garcia Lopez
Well, you blame Canonical for not updating Kubuntu, which I think is kind of 
unfair. Canonical is responsible for Ubuntu. Kubuntu is more a community 
project supported by Canonical.
Of course you can have a try with Debian, at least then there is no company at 
all to blame ;)

But I also cannot understand why the bugfix which is long available is
not in the repositories yet. And "wait for the next release or install
the ppa" is not a good excuse, I agree. Because in the next release
there will always be another bug like this and then you tell the users
to wait for the release afterwards to get the fix. The user does never
get a bug-free version if you continue like this. Therefore, bugfixes
that affect stability and security should be distributed fast.

[Bug 739780] Re: Session starting with a zeitgeist-datahub zombie process

2011-07-16 Thread Christopher K.
If I understand it correctly, having one zombie process running is not
much to worry about. It does not consume memory anymore. It only uses
one entry in the process table. So if you have 1 zombie, you only have
one process ID less available to start new processes. Unless you're
running thousands of processes and can't start new ones because no PID
is left, having one zombie is no problem at all. Of course these things
should be fixed, because if all programs leave zombies behind this might
become a problem.

Have a heart for that poor zombie process and just wait for oneiric to
hunt it to death ;-)

(Please correct me if I am wrong.)

@Yusuf: have you tried disabling desktop effects? I think if you disable 
desktop effects and the system still keeps freezing, e.g. while Flash player is 
running, you have another problem.
You might be also affected by this bug, but I think you might have more 
problems such as a hardware problem or other bugs.
Did your problem occur when you updated to natty or did you experience similar 
problems before natty?
Are you using another operating system maybe? Does this also freeze? have you 
tried a memory test (just in case ;) )?

[Bug 760632] Re: Resizing Konsole crashes the whole system

2011-06-14 Thread Christopher K.
Well, aren't there enough posts above that state which version works? I
recommend reading at least the top and bottom of a bug report to see
what it is about and if there is already a solution for a bug before
posting. If one did this, I doubt it would be possible to miss the
version which works. This does not only help to keep the bug report
clean, but also helps you finding the solution faster.

And nobody reported any problems yet with the experimental version so
chances are rather good that you do not trade one bug for another.

Although I have not tested this myself, I think Julio's tip about nouveau (#88) 
does not help all people as there were people that reported problems with 
nouveau as well (see #28).
Interesting though that the old 170.x driver seem to work - I think nobody has 
tried (at least reported) anything about this version yet.

I think any post below this should either be problem reports about the
experimental version (if any problems occur) or somebody saying "it's
now in the repositories". This means I'd also prefer not getting 100
more messaged saying "275.09.04 fixes it" from everybody this bug
affects.

[Bug 580512] Re: proftpd 1.3.2c with SSL is useless in Ubuntu 10.04

2010-09-02 Thread Christopher K.
I just had to try it:

I installed maverick in VirtualBox. I used Ubuntu 10.10 Alpha 3 (the 
beta-download-link wouldn't work), Desktop edition (maverick-desktop-i386). 
After Installation I updated everything using apt (Synaptic crashed but worked 
after it had been updated using apt), which nearly replaced the whole system 
and took as long as installation.
I then installed the proftpd-basic package (version 1.3.2e-4) and configured it 
as a standalone server with SSL encryption configured (everything using pretty 
default settings, no TLSOptions set at all).
I then connected using FileZilla 3.3.4.1 from the Windows 7 Host machine into 
the Maverick Virtual machine using "FTPES" (explicit SSL).

It worked perfectly, just out of the box! No special configuration.

So I can definitely say: This bug is fixed in Maverick. Now I'm looking
for to its final release.

[Bug 580512] Re: proftpd 1.3.2c with SSL is useless in Ubuntu 10.04

2010-09-02 Thread Christopher K.
Thanks chrstophe for the reply. As hardy is LTS and should be supported until 
April 2011, I thought security patches should be included in the recent 
packages. And I can't dist-upgrade this server as it's a vServer.
My home server is running lucid, though (and therefore affected with this bug).

Today I saw that maverick (upcoming Ubuntu 10.10) has an updated 
proftpd-version in its repository:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/proftpd-basic
It's 1.3.2e-4 which was released 24/Feb/2010 by proftpd-project, but seems to 
be a stable version which does not have the bug we encounter (from the version 
number and changelog - I did not try it myself yet).
I think 1.3.2e is more something for 10.04 and 10.10 should include 1.3.3a 
(which was released 01/Jul/2010 by the proftpd-project and seems to be a stable 
and reliable version as well). But I think they just synced with Debian 
unstable and got 1.3.2e from there, so we should be happy with that. I just had 
a look into the Debian repository: They now have 1.3.3a in unstable but it was 
marked experimental until 05 Jul 2010, so probably the sync for maverick ended 
before that date so 1.3.2e is what we'll get for maverick.
As lucid is LTS I think 1.3.2-e will come to the lucid repository some day, but 
I think I'll update my lucid machine to maverick as soon as it seems reliable 
(December maybe).

Probably the maverick-package installs in lucid as well, but I think
this would be a messy solution as well.

Can somebody please confirm (try by himself) if this bug is really fixed
in maverick?

2010-08-30 Thread Christopher K.
Thanks Cristophe for your feedback. This proves that the new version fixes this 
bug.
I just can't understand why such an important feature like SSL is kept unusable 
in the stable ubuntu package of proftpd. I really get the impression, that 
support of the proftpd-package in Ubuntu is not very good as I am struggling 
with another (even older) bug in the latest proftpd-package for Hardy which has 
also not been solved for ages now ans even is considered a security risk.

Maybe vsftpd is an alternative as its in the main repository and not in
universe like proftpd, so updates might come more frequently. I think I
might have a try with vsftpd.

2010-05-18 Thread Christopher K.
I had the same issue and "fixed" it like Claes Löfqvist explained. Worked 
perfectly, thanks.
Additional hint: You can tell apt-get not to update this package ("pin" it) by 
creating a file in /etc/apt/preferences.d (e.g. /etc/apt/preferences.d/proftpd) 
with the following content:
Package: proftpd-basic
Pin: version 1.3.2-3
Pin-Priority: 999

Note that you might need to adjust the Pin-Version to the one you
downgraded to. Synaptic (if you use it) offers similar options via GUI
(which only affect synaptic, not apt-get).

I'd also like to add the Release Notes of Proftpd 1.3.2d which clearly
relate to this issue:

1.3.2d (maintenance)
-

  + Fixed mod_tls compilation when using OpenSSL versions older than 0.9.7.
  + Fixed SSL/TLS (broken due to bad backport)
  + Fixed RADIUS authentication on 64-bit platforms.

I used OpenSSL newer than the version mentioned so I think the second
issue is what our problem really is.

I think that the current version of proftpd (1.3.2e) should appear in
the repository fast to fix this issue.
