Liu Qishuai reported a stack overflow in libgtop2 in Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/bugs/79206 I could reproduce it on Ubuntu feisty on AMD64. libgtop2 is 2.14.5-0ubuntu1. Steps to reproduce: export dir=$(perl -e " print 's/'x1000;") mkdir -p $dir cp /bin/sleep $dir $dir/sleep 100 & gnome-system-monitor gnome-system-monitor aborts with *** stack smashing detected ***: gnome-system-monitor terminated Aborted A backtrace leads to (gdb) frame 4 #4 0x00002b24888ee7e6 in glibtop_get_proc_map_s (server=0x2b2488af38a0, buf=0x7fff23c825e0, pid=9755472) at procmap.c:229 I've started to look for the problem: The problematic code is in sysdeps/linux/procmap.c: glibtop_get_proc_map_s() 155 char line[1024]; [...] 164 char filename [GLIBTOP_MAP_FILENAME_LEN+1]; 165 166 glibtop_map_entry *entry; 167 168 if (!fgets(line, sizeof line, maps)) 169 break; 170 171 /* 8 arguments */ 172 rv = sscanf(line, PROC_MAPS_FORMAT, 173 &start, &end, flags, &offset, 174 &dev_major, &dev_minor, &inode, filename); GLIBTOP_MAP_FILENAME_LEN is 215 (include/glibtop/procmap.h) PROC_MAPS_FORMAT is defined as "%16llx-%16llx %4c %16llx %02hx:%02hx %llu%*[ ]%[^\n]\n" maps is /proc/<pid>/smaps and the first line looks in this case like 00400000-00404000 r-xp 00000000 08:07 1849138 /home/michael/tmp/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/s/[...] After the sscanf 'filename' contains the filename which is much longer than the char array and overflows into the stack.
Same as bug 162092, you can fill the Whiteboard and maintainer fields please :) It will help me/us a lot. Sune, is this local only? not suid?
libgtop-2.14.6 is in the tree now, which includes the fix. Please proceed as you see fit.
thanks leio. Arches, please test and stable libgtop-2.14.6, thanks
