commit b1ad1a1d0266a20bb0dac15e65abe7b65a74e8a0 Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@torproject.org> Date: Sat Jun 23 15:30:01 2012 -0400 Resolve crash caused by format_helper_exit_status changes in #5557 Because the string output was no longer equal in length to HEX_ERRNO_SIZE, the write() call would add some extra spaces and maybe a NUL, and the NUL would trigger an assert in get_string_from_pipe. Fixes bug 6225; bug not in any released version of Tor. --- src/common/util.c | 29 ++++++++++++++++++++--------- src/common/util.h | 4 ++-- src/test/test_util.c | 16 +++++++++++----- 3 files changed, 33 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/common/util.c b/src/common/util.c index cb8ff85..8cb013e 100644 --- a/src/common/util.c +++ b/src/common/util.c @@ -3264,8 +3264,11 @@ format_hex_number_for_helper_exit_status(unsigned int x, char *buf, * in the processs of starting the child process did the failure occur (see * CHILD_STATE_* macros for definition), and SAVED_ERRNO is the value of * errno when the failure occurred. + * + * On success return the number of characters added to hex_errno, not counting + * the terminating NUL; return -1 on error. */ -void +int format_helper_exit_status(unsigned char child_state, int saved_errno, char *hex_errno) { @@ -3273,6 +3276,7 @@ format_helper_exit_status(unsigned char child_state, int saved_errno, int written, left; char *cur; size_t i; + int res = -1; /* Fill hex_errno with spaces, and a trailing newline (memset may not be signal handler safe, so we can't use it) */ @@ -3343,6 +3347,8 @@ format_helper_exit_status(unsigned char child_state, int saved_errno, *cur++ = '\n'; *cur++ = '\0'; + res = cur - hex_errno - 1; + goto done; err: @@ -3353,7 +3359,7 @@ format_helper_exit_status(unsigned char child_state, int saved_errno, *hex_errno = '\0'; done: - return; + return res; } /* Maximum number of file descriptors, if we cannot get it via sysconf() */ @@ -3695,15 +3701,20 @@ tor_spawn_background(const char *const filename, const char **argv, child_state = CHILD_STATE_FAILEXEC; error: - /* XXX: are we leaking fds from the pipe? */ + { + /* XXX: are we leaking fds from the pipe? */ + int n; - format_helper_exit_status(child_state, errno, hex_errno); + n = format_helper_exit_status(child_state, errno, hex_errno); - /* Write the error message.
