Description Jan Stodola 2016-05-11 12:02:14 UTC
Description of problem:
Installation crashes after entering a too long device number (more than 4 characters) when adding a new DASD device via GUI:

0x000003ffb9d9282c in waitpid () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0
Saved corefile /tmp/anaconda.core.1641


From the core file, I can see that the problem is in bd_s390_sanitize_dev_input:

(gdb) bt
#0  0x000003ffb9d9282c in __waitpid (pid=<optimized out>, stat_loc=stat_loc@entry=0x3fff8f77024, options=options@entry=0) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/waitpid.c:29

...


Here is the piece of code:

[jstodola@unused-4-196 plugins]$ cat -n s390.c | grep -B8 ^\ *286
   278      if (tok) {
   279          tmptok = tok + 1; /* want to ignore the delimiter char */
   280      }
   281      else {
   282          tmptok = lcdev;
   283      }
   284
   285      /* calculate if/how much to pad tok with */
   286      prepend = g_strnfill((4 - strlen(tmptok)), '0');
[jstodola@unused-4-196 plugins]$

So, there should be a check if the length of the device number is valid.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libblockdev-1.5-1.fc24
anaconda-24.13.4-1.fc24
python-blivet-1.20.1-1.fc24

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. proceed to the Installation Destination spoke
2. click "Add a disk..."
3. click "Add ECKD DASD..."
4. enter a too long device number, for example "12345"
5. click "Start Discovery"

Actual results:
installation crashes

Expected results:
a warning/error message, user should be able to continue with the installation

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 20:43:45 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2017-08-08 14:28:25 UTC
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
