HylaFax bug in SNPPserver
I have hylafax-v4.0pl1 on a RedHat 4.1 Linux box. I'm trying to
sendpage from a remote machine. The hfaxd SEGVs on me. When using
sendpage from a local machine, it works just fine.
Using my netpipes utilities and the wonderful GDB attach feature, I
managed to nail the segment of code that is misbehaving:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x806be56 in SNPPServer::loginCmd (this=0x80be6b8, loginID=0x80ba8f0 "thoth",
pass=0x0) at SNPPServer.c++:993
993 if (pass[0] == '\0' || !streq(crypt(pass, passwd), passwd))
As you can see from the GDB stack dump, pass == 0, so dereferencing it
will cause most OSs to SEGV (excepting the really wacky ones who map it
to a NUL character). Add a check to ensure that pass is non-0 .
This bug will not be exercised if the user is authorized to use the
service without a password. Since I hadn't configured my etc/hosts
properly, I suffered this bug.
