[jira] [Created] (TS-1923) 3.2.x - Fix resolve_logfield_string()
Igor Galić created TS-1923:
------------------------------
Summary: 3.2.x - Fix resolve_logfield_string()
Key: TS-1923
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-1923
Project: Traffic Server
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Reporter: Yunkai Zhang
Assignee: Yunkai Zhang
Fix For: 3.3.3
Attachments: 0001-Fix-resolve_logfield_string.patch
When ATS receives a malicious request which URL is too long to hold by
internal_msg_buffer, the internal_msg_buffer_size might be set to 0.
As a result, the appended memory which allocated by ats_malloc() would
be mistaken for the memory from ink_freelist, and would be free to
ink_freelist finally.
As this memory is larger than the one in ink_freelist, and all memory in
the origin ink_freelist would not be reclaimed, so it wouldn't cause
segment-fault, that is why we didn't notice it in the past.
But after we use reclaimabe-freelist, this bug would cause segment-fault
when use it to get inner meta-data or free it back to OS by unmmap().
===
Now, we found the root cause which would lead to internal_msg_buffer_size to 0
while internal_msg_buffer is NOT NULL.
That is resolve_logfiled_string() function. Let's fix it.
