Subject: [FORWARD] Socket.xs does not handle correctly UNIX domain sockets on FreeBSD
https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=67298 The patch is very obsolete but still fails for me on FreeBSD 9.1: Server: $ ~/perl/v5.19.1-127-g39150c4/bin/perl -v This is perl 5, version 19, subversion 2 (v5.19.2 (v5.19.1-127-g39150c4)) built for i386-freebsd ... $ ~/perl/v5.19.1-127-g39150c4/bin/perl rt67298-server.pl mysock (blocks, which is good) Client: $ ~/perl/v5.19.1-127-g39150c4/bin/perl rt67298-client.pl mysock *** Connecting to mysock hexdump: <08><01>mysock-- real length: 8 sun_len field: 8 Bad arg length for Socket::unpack_sockaddr_un, length is 8, should be 106 at rt67298-client.pl line 19. This is a bug report for perl from btik-fbsd@scoubidou.com, generated with the help of perlbug 1.36 running under perl 5.10.0. Bug with UNIX domain sockets on FreeBSD (at least 7.0 until 7.2 RELEASE). The unpack_sockaddr_un of perl-5.10.0/ext/Socket/Socket.xs does not handle correctly struct sockaddr_un under FreeBSD in some cases. It returns errors like: Bad arg length for Socket::unpack_sockaddr_un, length is 16, should be 106 at ... When the system returns a struct sockaddr_un in getpeername(), it returns the same structure the server gives to bind(). In some cases, servers (X for /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 and devd for /var/run/devd.pipe, for example) give a shortest structure than sizeof(struct sockaddr_un) but with a correct sun_len field. In these cases, sun_path may not be '\0' terminated. Then getpeername() returns a structure that Socket.xs unpack_sockaddr_un() function think wrong sized. But it is not. One can reproduce the problem with the following simple server and client code. Server side : --------------------------------------- use strict; use Socket; my $name = $ARGV[0] or die "usage: $0 server_socket_file"; #my $sun = sockaddr_un($name); # Use a shortest sockaddr_un as FreeBSD allows it for its daemons my $sun = pack('CCA*', length($name)+2, 1, $name); socket(my $fh, PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) or die "socket: $!\n"; bind($fh, $sun) or die "bind: $!\n"; listen($fh, 1) or die "listen: $!\n"; while (1) { accept(my $new_fh, $fh) or die "accept: $!\n"; sleep 1; } --------------------------------------- Client side (note that /var/run/devd.pipe socket is always available on standard FreeBSD installation): --------------------------------------- use strict; use Socket; my $name = $ARGV[0] // '/var/run/devd.pipe'; warn "*** Connecting to $name\n"; my $sun = sockaddr_un($name); socket(my $fh, PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) or die "socket: $!\n"; connect($fh, $sun) or die "connect: $!\n"; my $sockaddr = getpeername($fh) or die "getpeername: $!\n"; my $warn; ($warn = $sockaddr) =~ s/([\x00-\x19\x7f-\xff])/sprintf("<%02x>",ord$1)/ge; warn "hexdump: $warn--\n"; warn "real length: " . length($sockaddr) . "\n"; warn "sun_len field: " . unpack('C', $sockaddr) . "\n"; my $file = unpack_sockaddr_un($sockaddr); warn "unpack: $file--\n"; close $fh; --------------------------------------- I join a patch that correct the problem on FreeBSD. Note that the version in the GIT repository have the same problem. Perhaps the same problem occurs on other BSD (Open, Net, DragonFly), but I don't have any of them to try... Many thanks for your work, dont hesitate to contact me to do some tests if you need... Best regards, Maxime Soulé.
