Increase MUNGE_SIZE to avoid smashing stack none

Description Alex Chernyakhovsky 2011-06-17 01:39:39 UTC
Description of problem:
On a stock installation of Fedora 15, torque-server was installed and is attempting to be configured. Every time qmgr touches pbs_server, pbs_server crashes. When run under gdb, the following backtrace is obtained:

(gdb) bt

The problem seems to be munge, which had to be run manually as it too crashes when started by systemd

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
torque-server-3.0.1-1.fc15.x86_64
munge-0.5.10-1.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start pbs_server
2. qmgr any command to it, e.g., torque.setup script
  
Actual results:
pbs_server crashes, apparently smashing its stack

Expected results:
pbs_server works

Additional info:

Comment 1 Alex Chernyakhovsky 2011-06-17 02:10:08 UTC
Addendum: munge starts fine from systemd and problem persists with pbs_server.

Comment 2 Alex Chernyakhovsky 2011-06-17 13:30:55 UTC
I've spent some time debugging pbs_server, and I think I've found the problem. On line 306 of req_getcred.c, there is a call to "memcpy(ptr, buf, bytes_read);", which results in a buffer overflow: ptr is munge_buf which is only MUNGE_SIZE of 256 bytes, but this loop (on my system) will write 368 bytes, smashing the stack.

Comment 3 Alex Chernyakhovsky 2011-06-17 13:53:11 UTC
#define MUNGE_SIZE 256 /* I do not know what the proper size of this should be. My
                          testing with munge shows it creates a string of 128 bytes */

Yes, but the req_getcred.c code uses MUNGE_SIZE for the output of unmunge, not munge.

Comment 4 Alex Chernyakhovsky 2011-06-17 16:21:27 UTC
Created attachment 505309 [details]
Increase MUNGE_SIZE to avoid smashing stack

Increase MUNGE_SIZE to accommodate potentially large output from unmunge -- this is ~300 bytes on my system, next power of two would be 512, but use 1024 "just in case".

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the bug and diagnosis.

Upstream bug now here:
