rsync 3.3.0 still crashes with "*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated"

[heitbaum]

• ref exclude: fix crashes with fortified strlcpy() #513, rsync crashes with "*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated" #511, rsync crashes with "*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated" #511 (comment)

Using rsync 3.3.0 compiled on Ubuntu:jammy and gcc-12 I have had no issue. But compiling the same rsync with gcc-13 on Ubuntu:noble. And then using rsync in a kernel build gives me the same error. (This is with the patch #513) included. So there must be another code with a similar issue. With rsync-3.2.7 I did not get this error (on either jammy or noble.)

[tridge]

@heitbaum can you try with valgrind?

[heitbaum]

With -ggdb -Og

getting valgrind now.

Hm. What version of the popt library is this?

Ah, upstream popt doesn't use strlcpy in its poptDupArgv, but rsync's bundled copy does: https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/blob/master/popt/poptparse.c#L39. The bundled copy of popt looks like it needs a sync with upstream too.

With regard to Valgrind: note that _FORTIFY_SOURCE, in particular _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 is aggressive on aborting where the sizes are possibly too small (output buffer may be too small even if it isn't in this case), not necessarily too small. So the Valgrind output isn't illustrative here, unfortunately. See #511 (comment).

[heitbaum]

Here is the output from the build host - VERSION="24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat)" - we are using --with-included-popt for the rsync build.

Hi, what is the solution for mere mortals? https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/blob/master/INSTALL.md brought me here. Is there anything I should pass to ./configure? Libraries I should update with apt? Thanks.

[thesamesam]

The solution was updating bundled popt in #592. If it's still failing for you, please file a new bug with a backtrace.
