RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Pat Riehecky 2015-03-26 18:18:24 UTC 
Description of problem:

 Since the fix for CVE-2014-9620, file will print a "warning" that it only processed 256 notes:

$ file -N libjvm.so
libjvm.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=63ece24db1a29f9df8231337f741664e0b10fc7f, not stripped, too many notes (256)

And this leads to those messages and a failure:

stat: cannot stat 'libjvm.so,': No such file or directory
stat: cannot stat 'too': No such file or directory
stat: cannot stat 'many': No such file or directory
stat: cannot stat 'notes': No such file or directory
stat: cannot stat '(256)': No such file or directory

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):rpm-4.11.1-25.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Attempt to build an RPM with an ELF binary containing more than 256 notes
2.
3.

Actual results:
+ /usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh --strict-build-id -m --run-dwz --dwz-low-mem-die-limit 10000000 --dwz-max-die-limit 110000000 /builddir/build/BUILD/qemu-1.5.3
stat: cannot stat '/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/qemu-kvm-1.5.3-86.el7_1.1.x86_64/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm,': No such file or directory
stat: cannot stat 'too': No such file or directory
stat: cannot stat 'many': No such file or directory
stat: cannot stat 'notes': No such file or directory
stat: cannot stat '(256)': No such file or directory
extracting debug info from /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/qemu-kvm-1.5.3-86.el7_1.1.x86_64/usr/libexec/ksmctl

Expected results:
can build as expected

Comment 3 Karel Srot 2015-06-23 07:50:26 UTC 
While trying to reproduce this bug I have encountered two things.

1. The fix for CVE-2014-9620 is not present in RHEL-6 nor RHEL-7 (intentionally) and therefore I was only able to reproduce it using the file from Fedora 21.

2. While trying to reproduce the problem I have also used specially crafted ELF created using the script from http://mx.gw.com/pipermail/file/2014/001653.html
Since it doesn't contain debug info it is processed differently as the real ELF but I have encountered one thing. When building the SPEC after removing the '%debug_package' macro I can see various error messages in the build log. It looks as follows:

Executing(%build): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.YOp1bI
+ umask 022
+ cd /root/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ exit 0
Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.Dsru9n
+ umask 022
+ cd /root/rpmbuild/BUILD
+ '[' /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/bz1206312pkg-1.0-1.x86_64 '!=' / ']'
+ rm -rf /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/bz1206312pkg-1.0-1.x86_64
++ dirname /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/bz1206312pkg-1.0-1.x86_64
+ mkdir -p /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT

/usr/bin/strip: '/root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/bz1206312pkg-1.0-1.x86_64/usr/sbin/bz1206312_crafted_elf.so,': No such file

/usr/bin/strip: 'notes': No such file
/usr/bin/objdump: '(256)': No such file
/usr/bin/strip: '(256)': No such file

Seems that also /usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip-comment-note should be fixed.
Comment 4 Florian Festi 2015-06-30 09:55:13 UTC 
Nice catch! Thanks for looking into this that deeply! Fixed upstream at

https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/commit/5b4805df2085b0e7c4f09caad62638c3238b3bc1

So there are even more scripts than need fixing.

The question still is whether this should be fixed in RHEL 7.2 or not as the file utility in unchanged there.
Comment 5 Florian Festi 2015-06-30 10:31:42 UTC 
Are there any plans to add this new message to RHEL? Or should we just add these patches to be on the save side?
Comment 6 Florian Festi 2015-07-02 13:55:58 UTC 
We are just putting the patches in to be on the save side
