Hello.

We are running Kamailio 4.3.5 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit.

Sorry, I should have included that information in my first email.

I have done more debugging, and I believe the problem is caused by the subst_run() function being used on a message buffer which is not null terminated at msg->len.

The subst_f() and subst_body_f() functions both call subst_run(), and most of the time, everything seems fine. However, in our use case, the msg->buf does not always seem to be null terminated at msg->len.

In other words: msg->buf[msg->len] != '\0'

It seems there is sometimes some extra data in the buffer beyond msg->len, and subst_run() may abort() if it ever moves beyond msg->len.

I found a few places in textops.c where a buffer is being temporarily null terminated in order to perform a regexec () search, then restored later, as in:

body = hf->body;

c = body.s[body.len];

body.s[body.len] = '\0';

ret = regexec((regex_t*) re, body.s, 1, &pmatch, 0);

body.s[body.len] = c;

I've tried making the same type of change to subst_f() and subst_body_f(), and now I am not seeing the crash.

If I guarantee that msg->buf[msg->len] == '\0' when subst_run() is called, then everything seems to be OK.

What do you think? Is that a valid change to make?

Let me know if you'd like me to make a pull request on the main branch with those changes.

Thanks very much.

-Cody

Hello,

what's the version of Kamailio and the operating system you run on?

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello.

Inside the tm:local-request route, I am trying to modify the body of outgoing NOTIFY messages using the subst_body() function.

Things seem to work fine most of the time. The NOTIFY messages are correctly modified. However, I will very rarely hit a crash.

I can force the crash to happen more quickly by stress testing with thousands of NOTIFY messages being modified.

Is it safe to call subst() or subst_body() inside the tm:local-request route? If not, is there another way I can modify the outgoing NOTIFY messages safely?

Note that I am also calling append_hf() inside the same tm:local-request route, but that has been working for a very long time without causing any problems. Could there be some kind of bad interaction between append_hf() and subst_body()?

Strangely, it seems like using subst() makes the crash more likely to happen. For some reason, subst_body() seems to be more robust.

Here are the logs I see:
