mod_jk fails with "source and destination buffer overlap" on Maverick

Reported by: girgen@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.2.1
Keywords: mavericks haspatch Cc: todmorrison (Tod Morrison), cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)
Port: mod_jk

Description

Apple appears to have made strcpy() enforce that the src and dest buffers may not overlap.

This makes mod_jk fail. There is a patch upstreams alread. https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55696

This patch to the macport just uses the referred patch. Also, set JAVA_HOME using /usr/libexec/java_home for convenience.

comment:2 Changed 10 years ago by robertoschwald (Robert Oschwald)

Why was the priority changed to normal? This is a full stopper for all apache2 with mod_jk installations. apache2 crashes with the mentioned error after upgrade outdated..

comment:3 Changed 10 years ago by robertoschwald (Robert Oschwald)

Patch works here. Thanks for that.

comment:4 Changed 10 years ago by robertoschwald (Robert Oschwald)

I just saw that there is no maintainer for the port. I would like to take over maintenance so we have a fix asap.

We generally reserve High priority for security issues.

comment:6 Changed 10 years ago by raimue (Rainer Müller)

The statement

set javahome [exec /usr/libexec/java_home]

looks wrong to me. What if there is no Java SDK installed on the system? Won't this lead to an error here? Could it be a shim that pops up the automatic installation dialog? Or is it guaranteed that his binary always exists on all versions of Mac OS X? Not sure what to make of this.

Furthermore, the whole detection seems to be required for the +jni variant, which probably links against the Java runtime specified with ${javahome}. But what happens if I change the system default Java runtime? I am aware this issue existed before this change, just writing down what I see as I am looking at the port.

Upstream raised some concerns about the use of strncpy(3) in the patch. I agree with them and would recommend to use strlcpy(3), which would most probably not be portable to Linux/glibc, but works fine on various *BSD versions and OS X. Updated patch attached.

comment:7 Changed 10 years ago by girgen@…

The strlcpy patch looks great to me, absolutely an improvement.

java_home is only required by +jni, so the line javahome check should only be run in case of variant +jni. Patch applied.

In that case, this command will just print some default path, which is probably not the behavior we want. To error out if no JDK is installed, we should use:

/usr/libexec/java_home --failfast

OK, 1.2.40 is released. I've attached a patch [mod_jk.3.diff] that updates the port. JNI stuff is removed from mod_jk since 1.2.29 [ish], so I removed the stuff about JAVA_HOME completely. There is no dependency on java anymore, only tomcat requires that.

Also, since the port is orphan, I add myself as maintainer. It would be the first macport I'd maintain, my experience in this field lies mainly with FreeBSD ports, but since we use Mac for development, I have a personal and professional interest in the mod_jk port being up-to-date on mac...

comment:13 Changed 10 years ago by robertoschwald (Robert Oschwald)

Any chance a committer releases a new version, soon? This bug is open since 8 months and is still a full-stopper. Thanks.

As mod_jk when currently installed still always and for everybody crashes httpd during startup, I will add a note to the dev mailinglist so someone integrates the patch or adds girgen as maintainer.

Committed in r127221. I didn't do a test build to save bandwidth (on mobile unfortunately), but it can't get much more broken than it already is. Let's see what the buildbots say.

I also unified the whitespace to conform to our standard modeline in r127222, removed an unnecessary code block in r127223 and converted the post-install ui_msgs to notes in r127224. Let me know if you object to any of these changes and sorry for the delay.
