Description i.Dark_Templar 2011-07-25 15:41:35 UTC
pinentry-curses crashes with SIGSEGV if can't find terminfo.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make chroot with pinentry (static is better), and strace (static too, only for debugging), and busybox (for sh, mount, etc...), and without terminfo
2. chroot, run pinentry
3. make pinentry show password dialog
Actual Results:  
pinentry crashes with SIGSEGV.

Expected Results:  
pinentry should write error something like "couldn't find terminfo, aborting", and abort using proper way, without segmentation fault.

I found this bug when tried to make initrd with gpg2 inside. Normally there is terminfo, but it wasn't present at my initrd.
Bug found in pinentry-curses, but pinentry-gtk and pinentry-qt/qt4 probably affected too.
I know this is upstream bug, but I couldn't post it into app-crypt/pinentry bugzilla - couldn't find a way to register or to post bug without registration. Posted bug here for someone to deliver it to upstream. Or fix it for Gentoo at least.

More information about how to reproduce bug in comments.

script to reproduce my minimal chroot

This script reproduces chroot. Requires app-crypt/pinentry[static,ncurses] (which requires static-libs from ncurses), busybox[static] and strace[static].
It automatically chroots inside.
If you uncomment two lines inside script you'll get chroot with working pinentry.

After that you should do following commands:
mount -t proc none /proc
mount -t sysfs none /sys
busybox mdev -s     #(this can be skipped if you mount /dev or manually create necessary devices)
tty  # output of this command will be used later instead of $TTY_OUTPUT
strace pinentry 2>/pinentry.log

Now inside pinentry write following commands:
RESET
OPTION ttyname=$TTY_OUTPUT  # write output of "tty" command, not $TTY_OUTPUT
OPTION ttytype=linux
GETPIN

Application crashes. Now you can see pinentry.log. Before exiting chroot unmount everything mounted:
umount -a

My pinentry-curses crash strace log

Log which i got from previously written method. As I said, this is chroot for my initrd, minimally reduced just to reproduce this bug. It should probably be reproduced inside linux console, not X. At least I didn't test it at X, only using console at /dev/tty1.
Comment 4 i.Dark_Templar 2011-07-25 16:02:07 UTC
As I said, if you copy /etc/terminfo inside chroot, pinentry-curses will work. I'll repeat that this bug is about SIGSEGV, pinentry-curses should write understandable error and sanely abort, not just crash. Other pinentry-* (gtk2 and qt4) applications probably affected too, but I didn't test them.

Hello,
Please take this to upstream[1].
We will be glad to apply any patch upstream commits, or bump to new version.
Thanks.
