Bug ID: 240573 Summary: sysctl() does not return ENOMEM but silently truncate return data Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: b...@freebsd.org Reporter: rozhuk...@gmail.com int mib[4] = { CTL_KERN, KERN_PROC, KERN_PROC_FILEDESC, getpid() }; if (0 != sysctl(mib, 4, NULL, &buf_size, NULL, 0)) return (errno); buf = malloc(buf, buf_size); newfd = open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY); /* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! */ if (0 != sysctl(mib, 4, buf, &buf_size, NULL, 0)) { if (ENOMEM != errno) { free(buf) return (errno); } } This code should fail, but it fill buf with struct kinfo_file, and there is no newfd. No fail, no error code set, silent data truncation. Probably sys/kern/kern_descrip.c: export_kinfo_to_sb() ... if (efbuf->remainder < kif->kf_structsize) { /* Terminate export. */ efbuf->remainder = 0; return (0); } ... should return here ENOMEM!? I see hack to avoid missing fd for that in lib/libutil/kinfo_getfile.c: kinfo_getfile(): ... len = len * 4 / 3; ... Same for kern.ipc.posix_shm_list. sys/kern/uipc_shm.c: sysctl_posix_shm_list() if (req->oldptr != NULL && kif.kf_structsize + curlen > req->oldlen) break; error = ENOMEM; - before break missed. hack: usr.bin/posixshmcontrol/posixshmcontrol.c: list_shm() sys/kern/kern_proc.c: kern_proc_vmmap_out() ... /* Halt filling and truncate rather than exceeding maxlen */ if (maxlen != -1 && maxlen < kve->kve_structsize) { error = 0; vm_map_lock_read(map); break; ... error = ENOMEM;? And probably other places where exist buf size check and exit from loop before call sbuf_bcat(). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
