Summary0002868: More than one IPv6 listen block may cause a crash
DescriptionWell, it actually crashes the moment a listen-block with an IPv6 address is added, otherwise it runs fine and remote includes also work fine.
This is kind of a bummer since the whole idea was to run an IPv6 server but with remote includes. If the feature is disabled, UnrealIRCd ofcourse gladly accepts IPv6 listen-blocks and thus also clients without crashing.

** EDIT: it appears this is unrelated to curl, see 1st comment post **
Additional InformationCurl is (re)compiled with:
--disable-shared (as it would cause some odd error when enabled concerning some TLSv1 undefined symbol when starting the ircd)
--disable-thread (this doesn't seem to make any difference)
--disable-ares (I need the IPv6 support (why doesn't it use the newer C-ares anyway?))
--enable-ipv6, --enable-nonblocking, --enable-verbose, --with-zlib, --with-ssl
and it is the latest version (at this time, v7.15.3).

Also when remote includes is enabled in ./Config, -lares is added in the Makefile, so I had to remove it in order to be able to proceed with the compilation.

After a recompile of UnrealIRCd without support for curl, it still had the problem (I suspected curl being at fault, but it seems not), now I seem to have narrowed it down to the IPv6 listen blocks.

It seems that the moment a second IPv6 listen block is added the server crashes, if I leave one IPv6 listen block in place the server runs fine, connecting to the IPv6 port also works fine.

I never suspected that being the problem but it is apparently.
Especially because I have a RedHat 7.3 box which runs the exact same UnrealIRCd version and has two IPv6 listen blocks, one SSL and one plain and it works like a charm.

Ohyeah, multiple IPv4 listen blocks do not seem to be a problem.

I should have tested it like this first but as I said, I never thought this would be the cause of the crashes, so, sorry.

No update on my part..

You experiencing this too Jason?

Robby22: I'm unable to reproduce it (ran through valgrind [a memory debugger] too). Could you send the following files to [email protected]:
- src/ircd binary
- commands.so
- the core file
Preferably in a tar.gz (or .zip or .rar)
Alternatively, upload it somewhere and send me the URLs (don't post them here)

Make sure the ircd binary is not newer than the core file btw, because then they are not useful (core files belonging to an old compile) ;p.

Thanks.

No. Unfortunately I can't provide more information for you. My interest in this is due to the fact that the server in question is linked to a network I operate.

syzop: I mailed the files too you :)

I hope it gets solved soon, because I'm going to install FC5 on the box today and in a virtual machine test with FC5 and UnrealIRCd it seemed to be worse, adding even one IPv6 listen block crashes the server, but I need to look further into that.

Thanks for the files, definitely helped ;).

Could you verify that the issue is now fixed in latest CVS [.500]? Thanks.

EDIT: spelling...

EDIT2: heh lol, did not notice you posted a "I mailed the files" here, I actually took a look earlier, when I got your email.. so not THAt fast ;p.. still in an hour though.

Yay, it works!

I'll be installing FC5 in an hour or two, need to make some preperations first, I hope it'll work on it too! :) I'll post an update when I get to it :)

Anyway, thanks! :D

Good ;).

Well, I'm quite sure that should work as well (or at least, this bug got fixed).

Thanks again for the report.
