Description Felix Dewaleyne 2013-03-16 23:25:51 UTC
Created attachment 711228 [details]
screen output generated with gdb --batch -ex run -ex bt --args /usr/sbin/bitlbee -Dnvc /etc/bitlbee/bitlbee.conf

Description of problem:
when closing an open connection or disconnecting from bitlbee, the output is generated.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bitlbee.x86_64                        3.2-1.fc18              @updates          
bitlbee-debuginfo.x86_64              3.2-1.fc18              @updates-debuginfo
bitlbee-devel.x86_64                  3.2-1.fc18              @updates          
bitlbee-otr.x86_64                    3.2-1.fc18              @updates  

How reproducible:
all the time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure a jabber account using gtalk
2. start bitlbee, connect as usual
3. issue account gtalk off or disconnect
  
Actual results:
*** glibc detected *** /usr/sbin/bitlbee: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x0000555555814f21 ***

Expected results:
bitlbee does not crash

Additional info:
script output of gdb --batch -ex run -ex bt --args /usr/sbin/bitlbee -Dnvc /etc/bitlbee/bitlbee.conf

I am able to reproduce this with just gtalk but in the test may have had also the aim and yahoo plugins enabled.

I was tracking another bug when I noticed this one.

Comment 1 Aron Griffis 2013-03-21 13:07:42 UTC
The problem is that conn->hostname is strdup'd in one code path but not another.  I'll attach the patch.  See also http://bugs.bitlbee.org/bitlbee/ticket/1038

Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2013-03-25 13:11:00 UTC
Did somebody already have the chance to play with that patch?

Comment 5 Pekka Pietikäinen 2013-03-25 14:35:34 UTC
Seems to work (connect msn & fb jabber and then account off) + patch looks correct. I'll let it run (it randomly crashed previously every few hours-days and occasionally failed to connect at all) and let you know if it still fails, but +1 for a build with this fix.

Comment 6 Matěj Cepl 2013-04-02 12:02:17 UTC
Works for me and patch pushed to the master branch. Unfortunately, koji is broken ATM, so I cannot provide a scratch build.

Matěj, checking leaks seems orthoganol to this ticket... Something to fix, sure, but shouldn't block fixing the crash?

This crash is the result of double-free(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_free#Common_errors), so memory management is very much on spot for checking we haven't overlooked anything else.

Comment 10 Matěj Cepl 2013-04-02 18:54:24 UTC
Reporter, could you please check that the package from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5199260 (that's for Fedora 18) fixes the problem?

Comment 11 Pekka Pietikäinen 2013-04-02 19:03:05 UTC
+1 from here (no issues with self-compiled version since previous comment + quick test with koji build handled account off just fine).

Comment 12 Felix Dewaleyne 2013-04-03 07:22:30 UTC
+1 from me too, the problem seems solved with the koji packages.
