Description Matt Seitz 2006-10-27 18:23:26 UTC
Version:           0.12.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3) 
OS:                Linux

I found a NULL pointer dereference in "protocols/yahoo/libkyahoo/yahooclientstream.cpp":

I have built Kopete 0.12.2 using kdelibs-3.3.1-6.RHEL4 on my CentOS 4 Linux (a clone of RHEL 4) system.  It is working well, except I get a segfault when I am connected to Yahoo!, and I then connect to Yahoo! from another system.

With some help from the list, I compiled a debug version and ran it under GDB.  That's how I found the problem:


void ClientStream::cp_outgoingData( const QByteArray& outgoingBytes )
{
    // take formatted bytes from CoreProtocol and put them on the wire
    kdDebug(YAHOO_RAW_DEBUG) << k_funcinfo << "[data size: " << outgoingBytes.size() << "]" << endl;
    //cs_dump( outgoingBytes );
    d->bs->write( outgoingBytes );
}

The segfault happens on the "d->bs->write( outgoingBytes );" statement.  At this point, "d->bs" is NULL.

Looking at the call stack, it appears this originated with a call to "Client::sendPing()".

Comment 4 Matt Seitz 2006-10-28 03:32:42 UTC
An easy way to reproduce the problem on a single system is:

1.  Use Kopete to connect to Yahoo!
2.  Go to the web version of Yahoo Messsenger and connect from there http://messenger.yahoo.com/webmsgr/fmsgr.php 
3.  Kopete will report the duplicate connection.  Close the alert box.
4.  Wait about a minute for the segfault to occur
Comment 5 Andre Duffeck 2006-11-01 12:11:50 UTC
I can't reproduce. Could you please also post the debug output before the crash?

Comment 7 Andre Duffeck 2006-11-02 13:23:45 UTC
basically yes. but you'd have to recompile kopete with debug enabled (./configure --enable-debug=full) in order to make it produce helpful information.

"configure" command output log

I did use "enable-debug=full".	See the attached config.log.
Comment 9 Andre Duffeck 2006-11-03 20:07:27 UTC
sorry, i guess i wasn't clear enough. What i want is the debug output of kopete before it crashes. But in order to make that output helpful you first have to recompile kopete with --enable-debug. Thanks.
Comment 10 Matt Seitz 2006-11-04 01:38:00 UTC
The steps I performed to produce the output in Comment 6 were:

1.  cd /opt/seitz/kopete/build

2.  ../kopete-0.12.2-seitz/configure --prefix=/opt/seitz/kopete --enable-debug=full

3.  make clean && make && make install

4.  /opt/seitz/koptete/bin/kopete --nofork

I then copied all the terminal output from launching kopete until it crashed.

What step am I missing?

debug output and backtrace

I don't know what I did wrong in Comment 6.  But after I went ahead and did a
full rebuild, I now see much, much more debug output.  I'm attaching a copy
along with the back trace.

I've applied the changes to my build, and the problem appears fixed.
