Patch to log srvtyperequest properly and protect against other null pointers (1.33 KB, patch)

Description Paul Flo Williams 2009-09-16 06:53:38 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009061118 Fedora/3.0.11-1.fc9 Firefox/3.0.11

If "slptool findsrvtypes" is run without specifying the optional "authority" parameter, slpd will segfault while logging the contents of the message. Message logging is turned off by default.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure slpd to log messages by uncommenting the line for net.slp.traceMsg in /etc/slp.conf.
2. Start the slpd service
3. Type "slptool findsrvtypes" in a terminal.
Actual Results:  
slpd segfaults after logging the standard message header to /var/log/slpd.log, but before showing the fields specific to message type SRVTYPERQST.

Expected Results:  
The message log should be complete and slpd keeps running.

Taking a look at slpd/slpd_log.c, I see that SLPDLogSrvTypeRqstMessage() will call

   SLPDLogBuffer("   namingauth = ", srvtyperqst->namingauthlen, 
srvtyperqst->namingauth);

unconditionally. However, if no authority is provided, namingauth is a 
null pointer and namingauthlen is 65535, the magic value that means 
"all naming authorities".

A quick test shows that namingauth will also be null if an empty naming 
authority is provided as well, and namingauthlen will be zero.

Patch to log srvtyperequest properly and protect against other null pointers

This patch works for me on F11, and should also apply for EPEL.
I submitted this bug report upstream (to the openslp-devel list) on 2009-09-15, but I'm told this is already patched in trunk, which I assume means 1.3.x. I can't get to CVS to check this at the moment.

thanks, I'll take a look.

Patch looks good, tests out ok here.
