アプリケーションが glibc の times(2) 関数でセグメンテーションフォールトを発生させる

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3
  • kernel-2.6.32-279.14.1.el6
  • glibc-2.12-1.80.el6_3.6

Issue

  • アプリケーションが glibc の times(2) 関数でセグメンテーションフォールトを発生させます。
Core was generated by `<an application>'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Resolution

glibc-2.12-1.166.el6 以降にアップデートします。
RHBA-2015:1286-3

Root Cause

  • glibc __times() 関数が、アプリケーションが NULL ポインターを引数として渡し、カーネルが EFAULT を返す状況を適切に処理しません。

Diagnostic Steps

$ gdb /usr/sbin/clprm core.3916
...
Core was generated by `clprm'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
#0  __times (buf=0x0) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/times.c:43
43            touch (buf->tms_utime);
(gdb) bt

(gdb) p $eip
$1 = (void (*)()) 0xad4df2 <__times+50>
(gdb) disassemble 
Dump of assembler code for function __times:
...
=> 0x00ad4df2 <+50>:    mov    (%edx),%ecx
...
(gdb) p $edx
$2 = 0
(gdb) list __times
21      #include <sysdep.h>
22
23
24      clock_t
25      __times (struct tms *buf)
26      {
27        INTERNAL_SYSCALL_DECL (err);
28        clock_t ret = INTERNAL_SYSCALL (times, err, 1, buf);
29        if (INTERNAL_SYSCALL_ERROR_P (ret, err)
30            && __builtin_expect (INTERNAL_SYSCALL_ERRNO (ret, err) == EFAULT, 0))
31          {
(gdb) p ret
$3 = -14
(gdb)

ここでは、渡した引数が 0x0 (NULL) で、times システムコールが返した値が EFAULT (14) であることが確認できます。

/usr/include/asm-generic/errno-base.h:
#define EFAULT          14      /* Bad address */
