#1934 sssd crashes if junk is present in sssd.conf
Closed: Fixed None Opened 10 years ago by kaushikub.

  • sssd version used is sssd-1.10.0-6.fc20.beta1
  • Edit sssd.conf and add the word "junk" at the start of the file (I hit this issue due a mistake in the automation script which placed junk characters in sssd.conf).
  • Restart sssd
  • sssd crashes with the below backtrace.

    Core was generated by `/usr/sbin/sssd -D -f'.
    Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

I suspect inserting {{{ init_data->sssd_config = NULL; }}} into sss_ini.c would solve the issue

           ini_config_get_errors(init_data->sssd_config,
                                  &init_data->error_list);
            sss_ini_config_print_errors(init_data->error_list);
            ini_config_free_errors(init_data->error_list);
        }
        ini_config_destroy(init_data->sssd_config);
        init_data->sssd_config = NULL; <================
        return ret;
    }

Ondra, you know the code, can you please take a look?

owner: somebody => okos

Dmitri is right, setting the NULL fixes the issue. I'll go through the code to see if I can spot something similar and send a patch.
