NetXMS Support Forum

Hi,

We are getting segfaults on the netxmsd after upgrading from 1.2.16 to 1.2.17.
Crash occurs about 20 minutes after the start of the service.

Server is SLES 11 SP3 with kernel 3.0.101-0.40-default x86_64 and all patches installed.

With debugger (gdb) i get this kind of output:

I think that libc version is 2.11.3

Hello.

Fixed in trunk: https://git.netxms.org/public/netxms.git/patch/644f9e7af2ab68f129406c618a5ced8eac1369b5?hp=e47404b36d62c7884860577524e6ad5551226935

Hi,

Thank you for fast reply.

I tried install new version (latest snapshot) from git source, but make stopped with error.
This is my first time when i try use git, so maybe i miss something.


make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/netxms-git/src/libnxmap'
Making all in libnxsl
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/netxms-git/src/libnxsl'
bison -b parser -o parser.tab.cpp -d -t -v parser.y
parser.y:106.32-39: syntax error, unexpected type, expecting string or identifier
make[3]: *** [parser.tab.cpp] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/netxms-git/src/libnxsl'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1


gcc version is 4.3.4, bison version is 2.3 and flex version is 2.5.35.

At last i tried modify 1.2.17 source code (add patch), but i only break it

Sorry, my bad. Patch from my previous post will not apply correctly to 1.2.17. New patch attached to this post.

1) Unpack:
tar zxf netxms-1.2.17.tar.gz
2) Download fix.diff
3) cd netxms-1.2.17
4) Apply patch:
patch -p1 < ../fix.diff
5) configure with desired options, make, then make install

Hi,

Thanks for the step by step instructions
This was my first (or second) time than i added the patch to source.

make command gave the following error:

node.cpp: In member function 'UINT32 Node::getItemFromSNMP(WORD, const char*, size_t, char*, int)':
node.cpp:3188: warning: format '%llu' expects type 'long long unsigned int', but argument 4 has type 'long unsigned int'
node.cpp:3188: warning: format '%llu' expects type 'long long unsigned int', but argument 4 has type 'long unsigned int'
node.cpp: In member function 'void Node::topologyPoll(ClientSession*, UINT32, int)':
node.cpp:5331: error: 'm_name' was not declared in this scope
node.cpp:5331: error: 'm_id' was not declared in this scope


I tried to read the source code and find right variable names. File netxms-1.2.17/src/server/core/node.cpp and row 5331
Orginal
DbgPrintf(6, _T("Node::topologyPoll(%s [%d]): peer node set but node object does not exist"), m_name, m_id);

Modified
DbgPrintf(6, _T("Node::topologyPoll(%s [%d]): peer node set but node object does not exist"), m_szName, m_dwId);


I'm not sure whether those correctly, but after change make command does not give any error.

...and yes, database is backed up before this code is executed

Yes, your changes are correct – I attached wrong file
Proper fix attached.
