Hello! I use rsync from python on my Debian Jessie amd64 and get this error: *** buffer overflow detected ***: <snip>/rsync terminated ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x731af)[0x7ffff78971af] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__fortify_fail+0x37)[0x7ffff791caa7] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0xf6cc0)[0x7ffff791acc0] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0xf8a17)[0x7ffff791ca17] <snip>/rsync(+0x30c78)[0x555555584c78] <snip>/rsync(+0x31cfe)[0x555555585cfe] <snip>/rsync(+0x31ef6)[0x555555585ef6] <snip>/rsync(+0x336ed)[0x5555555876ed] <snip>/rsync(+0x22417)[0x555555576417] <snip>/rsync(+0x2395e)[0x55555557795e] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5)[0x7ffff7845b45] <snip>/rsync(+0x7f89)[0x55555555bf89]
I guess that problem is about too many open fds STR for this is a small script on python: import os import subprocess F = 'test' OPENS = 1600 cmd = [ #'gdb', '--args', './rsync', '-aviH', '/etc/passwd', '/tmp/passwd' ] for i in xrange(OPENS): fd = os.open(F, os.O_WRONLY | os.O_CREAT) print(cmd) subprocess.check_call(cmd) I rebuild rsync-3.1.1 from Debian source with debug and -O1 and get bt from gdb: (gdb) bt #0 0x00007ffff7859067 in __GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:56 #1 0x00007ffff785a448 in __GI_abort () at abort.c:89 #2 0x00007ffff78971b4 in __libc_message (do_abort=do_abort@entry=2, fmt=fmt@entry=0x7ffff7989cb3 "*** %s ***: %s terminated\n") at ../sysdeps/posix/libc_fatal.c:175 #3 0x00007ffff791caa7 in __GI___fortify_fail (msg=msg@entry=0x7ffff7989c4a "buffer overflow detected") at fortify_fail.c:31 #4 0x00007ffff791acc0 in __GI___chk_fail () at chk_fail.c:28 #5 0x00007ffff791ca17 in __fdelt_chk (d=d@entry=1606) at fdelt_chk.c:25 #6 0x0000555555584c78 in safe_read (fd=fd@entry=1606, buf=buf@entry=0x7fffffffa810 "\037", len=len@entry=4) at io.c:245 #7 0x0000555555585cfe in read_buf (f=f@entry=1606, buf=buf@entry=0x7fffffffa810 "\037", len=len@entry=4) at io.c:1815 #8 0x0000555555585ef6 in read_int (f=f@entry=1606) at io.c:1711 #9 0x00005555555876ed in setup_protocol (f_out=1605, f_in=1606) at compat.c:158 #10 0x0000555555576417 in client_run (f_in=1606, f_out=1605, pid=24793, argc=1, argv=0x5555557d5240) at main.c:1128 #11 0x000055555557795e in start_client (argv=0x5555557d5240, argc=1) at main.c:1423 #12 main (argc=2, argv=0x5555557d5240) at main.c:1651 It looks like a bug, but I'm not sure) -- Boris -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
