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.

Fixed In Version: sblim-wbemcli-1.6.3-16.el8
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.The `cmx` operation with no parameter no longer crashes the CIM Client The `cmx` operation calls a method and returns XML, a parameter specifies the name of the called method. Previously, the command line `sblim-wbemcli` Common Information Model (CIM) Client crashed when running the `cmx` operation without an additional parameter. With this update, the `cmx` operation requires the parameter that defines the name of the called method. Invoking the `cmx` operation without this parameter results in an error message, and the CIM Client no longer crashes.

Description Renaud Métrich 2022-04-15 12:45:29 UTC
Description of problem:

When executing "cmx" command with no additional parameter, the command crashes, e.g.:
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
# /usr/bin/wbemcli cmx 'http://localhost/root/cimv2:Linux_zChannelMetric'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------

This is due to not verifying "xtraStr" value before parsing it:
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
# gdb $(which wbemcli) core
[...]
Core was generated by `/usr/bin/wbemcli cmx http://localhost/root/cimv2:Linux_zChannelMetric'.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0  strchr () at ../sysdeps/s390/strchr-vx.S:45
45		vlbb	%v16,0(%r2),6	/* Load s until next 4k-byte boundary.  */
(gdb) bt
#0  strchr () at ../sysdeps/s390/strchr-vx.S:45
#1  0x000002aa03a85d4c in strchr (__c=46, __s=0x0) at /usr/include/string.h:214
#2  main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at main.cpp:590
(gdb) f 2
#2  main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at main.cpp:590
590	         if ((params = strchr(xtraStr, '.')))
(gdb) p xtraStr
$1 = 0x0
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------

"xtraStr" is initialized with this:
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------
119 int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
120    int pos, retval = 0;
121    char *cmd, *params, *endptr, *opStr=NULL,*urlStr=NULL,*xtraStr=NULL;
 :
217             if (n==0) opStr=*argv;
218             else if (n==1) urlStr=strdup(*argv);
219             else if (n==2) xtraStr=*argv;
 :
-------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< --------

Here above, we don't iterate "n" initially through setting "opStr" (line 217), then "urlStr" (line 218) but we never set "xtraStr" because there is no more argument.
