[Issue 10345] New: Potential memory leak in function rbac_create_session

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10345 Issue ID: 10345 Summary: Potential memory leak in function rbac_create_session Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: contrib Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: alexguo1023(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- In `rbac_create_session`, we have the following code: ```c if ( rc < 0 ) { rs->sr_err = LDAP_OTHER; rs->sr_text = "internal error"; } else { (void)ber_flatten( ber, &rs->sr_rspdata ); rs->sr_rspoid = ch_strdup( slap_EXOP_CREATE_SESSION.bv_val ); // first rs->sr_err = LDAP_SUCCESS; } ber_free_buf(ber); done:; // always put the OID in the response: rs->sr_rspoid = ch_strdup( slap_EXOP_CREATE_SESSION.bv_val ); //second ``` The second `ch_strdup` at the `done` label overwrites `rs->sr_rspoid` without freeing the previous string, resulting in a memory leak. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10348] New: Free ch_malloc-allocated memory in error paths

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10348 Issue ID: 10348 Summary: Free ch_malloc-allocated memory in error paths Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: alexguo1023(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 1077 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=1077&action=edit Patch: Relase memory allocated from ch_malloc in 2 error handling branches. In ldap_back_monitor_ops_init and syncrepl_dirsync_message, memory allocated with ch_malloc was not freed when errors occurred. This adds two ch_free calls to ensure proper cleanup in those branches. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10343] New: Potential Memory Leak in function slap_uuidstr_from_normalized

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10343 Issue ID: 10343 Summary: Potential Memory Leak in function slap_uuidstr_from_normalized Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: alexguo1023(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 1070 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=1070&action=edit Patch: Change 1 to -1. In function slap_uuidstr_from_normalized, the code allocates a new `struct berval` with ```c new = (struct berval *)slap_sl_malloc(sizeof(struct berval), ctx); ``` and then attempt to allocate `new->bv_val`. If that second allocation fails, it sets `rc = 1` and jumps to the `done` cleanup label. However, the cleanup code only runs when `rc == -1`, so the memory pointed by `new` is never freed, causing a memory leak. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10344] New: Potential memory leak in function firstComponentNormalize and objectClassPretty.

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10344 Issue ID: 10344 Summary: Potential memory leak in function firstComponentNormalize and objectClassPretty. Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: slapd Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: alexguo1023(a)gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 1071 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=1071&action=edit Patch: Ensure the first argument passed to `ber_dupbv_x` is not `NULL`. In `firstComponentNormalize`, the code calls `ber_dupbv_x` but ignores its return value. ```c ber_dupbv_x(normalized, val, ctx); ``` When `normalized` is `NULL`, `ber_dupbv_x` allocates a new `struct berval` and returns it; failing to capture that pointer means we lose ownership and leak the allocation. The same issue arises in `objectClassPretty`. We should follow the pattern in function `hexNormalize`, which asserts that its `normalized` argument is non-NULL before use: ```c assert(normalized != NULL); ``` -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.

[Issue 10346] New: mdb_env_copy2 on a database with a value larger than (2GB-16) results in a corrupt copy

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10346 Issue ID: 10346 Summary: mdb_env_copy2 on a database with a value larger than (2GB-16) results in a corrupt copy Product: LMDB Version: 0.9.31 Hardware: x86_64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: liblmdb Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org Reporter: mike.moritz(a)vertex.link Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 1072 --> https://bugs.openldap.org/attachment.cgi?id=1072&action=edit reproduction source code Running mdb_env_copy2 with compaction on a database with a value larger than (2GB-16)bytes appears to complete successfully in that there are no errors, but the copied database cannot be opened and throws an MDB_CORRUPTED error. Looking at the copied database size, it appears that the value is either being skipped or significantly truncated. Running mdb_env_copy2 without compaction also completes successfully, and the copied database can be opened. I initially encountered this while using py-lmdb with v0.9.31 of LMDB, but was able to write up a simple script that uses the library directly. The source for the script is attached, and the results below are from running it with the latest from master.
