| Summary | 0001984: Solaris: Connecting with SSL causes instant crash | ||||
| Description | I connect with mIRC 6.15 using its built-in SSL, and the server crashes immediately upon attempted connect. Regular connections work fine. The exact same configuration file works in the 3.2 release (except cloak-keys are changed for the new format, and the cloak module is loaded, in the 3.2.1 version of the config file, which I would not expect to have an effect), which is what I'm presently running. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Start Unreal ircd on server. 2. Connect with mIRC prepending the port number with a + to indicate SSL. | ||||
| Additional Information | OpenSSL library is 0.9.7d, dynamically loaded. Compiled with GCC version 3.4.1. I modified the CC environment variable to run with "gcc -ggdb" in the hopes of providing the most informative output.

Works fine here. And unfortunately, that output is 100% useless since it doesn't tell me what caused the crash at all. |
|

this is a *nix compile im assuming.... (since the only way to have gdb on win32 is to get MinGW)... some things to check: is the listen block got the ssl option? did you make your certificate? are there any errors on compiling at all? does the ircd crash when you do /rehash ? are there any errors in ircd.log related to the error that makes it crash? (cant see why this would make it crash, but, is your SSL dll's in the mIRC folder?) because i dont normally code in *nix, finding this problem myself would be near impossible... especially since it works fine for me :-/ Running: Mandrake Linux 10.0 OpenSSL 0.9.7d mIRC 6.14, mIRC 6.16 tested both OK maybe someone else has some other information, as im stumped :-| |

A few questions: 1. And when you were running 3.2, did you also use SSL in 3.2 and did it go fine? 2. Was openssl upgraded in the meantime? (between 3.2 -> 3.2.1) 3. Could you try with (very) latest CVS? cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/home/cmunk/ircsystems/cvsroot login [press enter when asked for a pass] cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/home/cmunk/ircsystems/cvsroot co -r unreal3_2_fixes -d Unreal3.2-cvs unreal |

Oh and another wild guess: could it be your gcc? Perhaps you could recompile openssl with gcc3.4.1 if you didn't do that already. [http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/sparc-abi.html] |

1) The listen block does have the SSL option. As mentioned, this configuration file works with the 3.2 version with SSL compiled in. I can connect to that server with SSL with mIRC. I have created and am using a server certificate. It's self-signed, but it works. I think GCC was upgraded, however. 2) There were no compliation errors. I didn't watch it close enough to see if there were any warnings, but just configure, make, done. 3) /rehash does not cause a crash. 4) ircd.log does not have any relevant information. Just connects, disconnects, OPERs, that sort of thing. 5) OpenSSL has not been upgraded. My working compile of 3.2 makes use of library 0.9.7d. That version of the IRC server is still running, and still accepting SSL connections successfully. -- After monitoring further responses to this thread, I am attempting the following: 1) syzop's point about GCC and its SPARC calling convention problems is something of which I was unaware. I am currently attempting to recompile the OpenSSL libraries with Sun's compilers, as the OpenSSL config script seems to prefer that over gcc, since I would hope Sun's own compilers don't have any weird calling convention problems. I may attempt to compile it again with gcc afterwards. 2) I am also attempting to compile all of the latest CVS as directed, as well as the 3.2.1 release, as well as the 3.2 release which I'm currently using. Those are currently running in the background as I type and I will post results when they finish to see which work, and which do not. If the 3.2 release suddenly stops working, then it may be this library problem. |

Results thus far: Without doing anything to the SSL libraries, Unreal3.2 compiles and runs fine. I'm able to make an SSL connection to it. Unreal3.2.1 release compiles, and still crashes as soon as an SSL connection is attempted. GDB's output is still similarly useless as before. Latest Unreal CVS compiles and seems to be working alright at a first test. Well, maybe this isn't an issue after all. |
|
|
Good. I guess the bugreport can be closed then? ;). |
|
|
I guess it can. Something in the CVS version must have fixed whatever was causing the trouble. |
|
|
Heh. I wonder if this was due to md5 too (I just closed an SSL+crash-on-connect issue a day earlier)... You could try this: remove the '#include "config.h"' line from src/md5.c (somewhere @ top) and run 'make && make install' (no make clean etc needed) and see if it then crashes again on first ssl connect. |
|
|
Yup. When I recompile md5.c without the #include "config.h", it blows up in the exact same way. I guess the mystery is solved. |
|

Thanks :). Such info is always helpful so we know what to put in release notes etc. |
