Re: [XFree86] Xserver crash, i810

[XFree86] Xserver crash, i810
Here's the same type crash as was happening with the S3 VirgeDX chipset, only this time on i810. No mention of glx module, but it was loaded. Two different machines, same XFree86, 4.6.0. Both crashes only happen if X is left running for over a day or so, then shut down. Once the server closes, the console is never restored. This crash didn't produce a log, only the follow when I got hold of the console back using svgalib's restoretextmode util. *** glibc detected *** X: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08d30de8 *** waiting for X server to shut down === Backtrace: = /lib/libc.so.6[0xb7df4cf3] /lib/libc.so.6(cfree+0x90)[0xb7df81b0] X(FreeGC+0x61)[0x80cf8b1] X(FreeScratchGC+0x3f)[0x80cf90f] [0xb79a9e85] [0xb79ae41c] [0xb7b97229] [0xb7b98341] X(FreeClientResources+0x6b)[0x80d406b] X(FreeAllResources+0x4a)[0x80d413a] X(main+0x439)[0x80d2899] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xd8)[0xb7da2f38] X[0x806f101] === Memory map: -000a rwxs 00:07 98305 /SYSV0002 (deleted) 000a-000c rwxs 000a 03:01 556569 /dev/mem 000c-000f rwxs 000c 03:01 556569 /dev/mem 000f-0010 r-xs 000f 03:01 556569 /dev/mem 08048000-081d3000 r-xp 03:01 2193636/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 081d3000-08206000 rwxp 0018a000 03:01 2193636/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 08206000-097e5000 rwxp 08206000 00:00 0 [heap] af50-af521000 rwxp af50 00:00 0 af521000-af60 ---p af521000 00:00 0 af689000-af734000 rwxp af689000 00:00 0 af734000-af76d000 rwxp af76d000 00:00 0 af7a4000-af7b4000 rwxs 000a 03:01 556569 /dev/mem af7b4000-b77b4000 rwxs f000 03:01 556569 /dev/mem b77b4000-b77f rwxp b77b4000 00:00 0 b77f-b787 rwxs ffa8 03:01 556569 /dev/mem b787-b791 rwxs 00:07 98305 /SYSV0002 (deleted) b791-b7d8d000 rwxp b791 00:00 0 b7d8d000-b7ecb000 r-xp 03:01 654805 /lib/libc-2.5.so b7ecb000-b7ecd000 r-xp 0013e000 03:01 654805 /lib/libc-2.5.so b7ecd000-b7ece000 rwxp 0014 03:01 654805 /lib/libc-2.5.so b7ece000-b7ed1000 rwxp b7ece000 00:00 0 b7ed1000-b7edb000 r-xp 03:01 1669573/usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 b7edb000-b7edc000 rwxp 9000 03:01 1669573/usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 b7edc000-b7ede000 r-xp 03:01 654813 /lib/libdl-2.5.so b7ede000-b7edf000 r-xp 1000 03:01 654813 /lib/libdl-2.5.so b7edf000-b7ee rwxp 2000 03:01 654813 /lib/libdl-2.5.so b7ee-b7f05000 r-xp 03:01 654811 /lib/libm-2.5.so b7f05000-b7f06000 r-xp 00024000 03:01 654811 /lib/libm-2.5.so b7f06000-b7f07000 rwxp 00025000 03:01 654811 /lib/libm-2.5.so b7f07000-b7f19000 r-xp 03:01 1670084/usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.3 b7f19000-b7f1a000 rwxp 00012000 03:01 1670084/usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.3 b7f1a000-b7f28000 rwxp b7f1a000 00:00 0 b7f28000-b7f2c000 r-xp 03:01 8544105/lib/libsafe.so.2.0.16 b7f2c000-b7f2d000 rwxp 3000 03:01 8544105/lib/libsafe.so.2.0.16 b7f2d000-b7f2f000 rwxp b7f2d000 00:00 0 b7f2f000-b7f3 r-xp b7f2f000 00:00 0 [vdso] b7f3-b7f4c000 r-xp 03:01 654854 /lib/ld-2.5.so b7f4c000-b7f4d000 r-xp 0001b000 03:01 654854 /lib/ld-2.5.so b7f4d000-b7f4e000 rwxp 0001c000 03:01 654854 /lib/ld-2.5.so bfbf5000-bfc0a000 rwxp bfbf5000 00:00 0 [stack] Any idea what's cause both machines to crash, but only when X is up for quite some time before shutting down?

(If you missed it, I posted a few issues back about a strange crash, now I have more info as to the cause and how to get out of it again.) Yup, it is definately the glx module. Remove it and everything is OK. It won't crash right away. I have to have X up for about 20 minutes and then close it down before it gets stuck in graphic mode.

[XFree86] CAN-2005-2495: Current XFree86 and Recent CVE Advisory
http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2495 CAN-2005-2495: This issue seems to effect both Xfree86 and X.Org versions of X. Many linux distro's have now begun to patch. Debian's advisory is really unclear, as they seem to imply that only versions *before* XFree86 4.30 are affected. Checking out some of the links and advisories from the other distro's, I find this Slackware one, which implies current X.Org is affected: Tue Sep 13 02:15:06 PDT 2005 x/x11-6.8.2-i486-3.tgz: Patched an integer overflow in the X server pixmap memory allocation that could potentially allow any X user to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2495 (* Security fix *) x/x11-devel-6.8.2-i486-3.tgz: Recompiled. x/x11-docs-6.8.2-noarch-3.tgz: Rebuilt. (*snip*) At http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2495 -- Name CAN-2005-2495 (under review) Description: Multiple integer overflows in XFree86 before 4.3.0 allow user-complicit attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted pixmap image. References* GENTOO:GLSA-200509-07 * URL:http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200509-07.xml * MANDRAKE:MDKSA-2005:164 * URL:http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2005:164 * REDHAT:RHSA-2005:501 * URL:http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2005-501.html * TRUSTIX:2005-0049 * URL:http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraqm=112690609622266w=2 So all of us using XFree86's binaries for linux at version 4.5.0 should be OK, right? Well... Mandriva Security Advisories Package name XFree86 DateSeptember 13th, 2005 Advisory ID MDKSA-2005:164 Affected versions 10.0, 10.1, CS2.1, CS3.0, 10.2 Synopsis Updated XFree86/x.org packages fix vulnerability Problem Description A vulnerability was discovered in the pixmap allocation handling of the X server that can lead to local privilege escalation. By allocating a huge pixmap, a local user could trigger an integer overflow that resulted in a memory allocation that was too small for the requested pixmap, leading to a buffer overflow which could then be exploited to execute arbitrary code with full root privileges. The updated packages have been patched to address these issues. Updated Packages Mandrakelinux 10.0 a22ae2b3b2cc019d7769a29fb8d15104 10.0/RPMS/libxfree86-4.3-32.5.100mdk.i586.rpm d13d37d18a49addab3b0a2d0531499da 10.0/RPMS/libxfree86-devel-4.3-32.5.100mdk.i586.rpm 09b8bbc447d39afb1cd67ca808c3c409 10.0/RPMS/libxfree86-static-devel-4.3-32.5.100mdk.i586.rpm 739c0d36b7de1927718087e6b58107a3 10.0/RPMS/X11R6-contrib-4.3-32.5.100mdk.i586.rpm 8fbce53ac64d76dd1f3c01c1697a37f7 10.0/RPMS/XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.3-32.5.100mdk.i586.rpm 7 (*snip*) So are XFree86's version 4.5.0 binaries off their web/ftp servers affected or not? It would appear that before 4.3.0 of XFree86 only is, but then why would Slackware Linux and Mandrake be going so far as to replace current X.Org stuff? To put it another way, why are these linux distro's issuing advisories for their current X.Org stuff when it seems only super old XFree86 versions are affected? 4.3.0 is 2 whole versions behind 4.5.0. But then, on http://www.x.org/ : This advisory affects all known versions and releases of the X Window System whether from X.Org or other vendors. Therefore users are strongly recommended to upgrade. Only one problem, there doesn't seem to BE a security upgrade for XFree86. Where does this leave users of current XFree86? As the issue and its fix seem to deal with Xserver source code, that would like mean at least downloading a full source of X11 and re-making the Xserver target (if it was implemented this way, eg, is able to just build one part instead of having to do a full rebuild, such as make xserver instead of make all) I'm not looking forward to patching and rebuilding a complete X11; one of my machine has room, the other doesn't, which will mean NFS/SMBFS build over the network on a PII (glibc 2.3.5 took 17 hours to compile like this, to give an idea of what it's like). In summary, can users expect fixed binary releases, or prehaps they already are patched (no info about this on the XFree86 website)? If it IS just the Xserver itself, (that is, the XFree86/X binary) I can probably rob a patched one from some distro's package. What are other users doing about this? ___ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@XFree86.Org http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Thanks for the update. I am not sure what I should change. The fbset -xfree86 gave me back: + open /dev/fb0: no such device. That means you're not using a framebuffer. That's not directly related to getting your video card to work with X11 though. It was just something I used to help me figure out some values, since I was using the frame buffer on that machine.

[XFree86] Intel i810; what's wrong here?
Hello xlist; For the life of me, I can't see what is wrong with this setup. I've recently got a new system. XF86 is fine on my S3 Virge, but every time I try on the new system which is using the i810 driver, all I get are black screens. No error messages, no crashes; it seems like everything is fine. yet there's no picture at all. I turned -logverbose to 10 and ran a session. The config the log are both here (unless some mail filter strips them). Since the system is new, I'm taking the values for the chipset and moniter straight out of the monitor's manual, and even -configure seems to agree with my choices for drivers. To experiment, I've tried the vga, fbdev and vesa drivers with no luck either and same result. In the docs of the XF86 archive, there's a blurb on using the agpgart.o module (this is a Pentium 4 Linux system, gcc/glibc based, everything recent and up to date), but this didn't seem to add anything to help. I recompiled the modules (2.4.28 kern.), and checked all the simple things like using the wrong config, starting with a bad xinitrc, etc. The only time I've had results different than the above where when trying the vga driver, and using a really poor res. with depth 8. The charaters where so large that 50% of 1 xterm took up the full screen (around mode 620x480 or less).

[XFree86] Next Upgrade?
When can we expect the next upgrade to XFree86? Currently, 4.4.0 seems to be the last binary package put out. However, there have been some recent security issues, namely with libXpm.so and a few others. Normally, in this situation I'd compile my own, using the latest available sources (even if they were devel/unstable, as its better than chancing a security breach). Only problem is, I don't have the room on my one and only hard disk to do a full build from source of XFree86; that's megabytes beyond what I have available. The system is a linux x86 glibc (current) based system, and not a stock distribution any more. It was began as a Slackware install, but I made the decision to stand with XFree86 when they moved to X.org's build. There's also a some other major differences, but everything's current and up-to-date. I'd like to continue to use XFree86, but not having a current, non-vulnerable binary release is tough. Or have the binary builds for 4.4.0 been fixed as per the recent issues with libXpm? I looked thru the website for Xfree86, and in the security section, but this seems to indicate that it's compile-your-own from a snapshot or keep the old, vulnerable version... Can anyone clear this up for me? Possibly I'm missing a notice, or some Changelog which shows how this issue was addressed for people in my circumstance? Any ideas? --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

The monitor screen section- you need the specifications from your monitor for those.

[XFree86] Mystery Crash
Hello List, Since I've upgraded to Xfree86 4.4.0, I've had a few unexplained xserver crashes. Since nothing else is wrong and other than this everything works fine, I usually ignore them. It happened again a few minutes ago, I left the room and when I came back the server'd crashed. The only clues I have to go on are a bunch of GetModeLine's on the screen, and (this time, but not always) this included logfile. This machine is a 9.1 Slackware Linux, 2.4 kern machine, with S3 Virge vga-compatible card. The monitor's origin (and make) are lost in the sands of second-hand time, but I've never had trouble with it. This X was from the binaries off the XFree86 site, not the Slackware distro one (same as the prior X install.) If anyone would like to take a peek at the log config file, they're bzip2 compressed and attached. I'd sure like to understand why this happens, and what may be the cause. As I wrote above, other than this, X works fine, and it's rare that this unexplained crash happens.

[XFree86] Xnest nesting servers
Hello All, I'm having trouble getting the Xnest server to allow clients access when running as a second server on the same workstation. (I probably won't do this in practice, but I'd like to know why it's not allowing access.) One server starts OK. Then I'll start the second server, Xnest, on another display like so: Xnest -display :1. It starts fine, I can see it. The man page for Xnest states now I should be able to run xclients on the Xnest server, such as: xterm -display :1, and then lauch whatever from there. This is the part were trouble sets in. The xterm is refused, can't connect. In the term that I started the Xnest server, I see error messages: AUDIT: date Xnest: client 1 rejected from local host and this repeats each time I try, same results. I changed the display numbers around but no luck. It seems something is default set overly protective, but I'm not sure how to stop it, or what it is. It's not xhost +host, because I tried that in desperation. It won't take a -display tag, either. So now I have a lovely Xnest server with a paranoid complex that I can't access from the machine that started it (I could simply kill it off, so I don't see the security in this.) Thanks in advance for anyone that can help. I'll keep checking the man pages 'till then :( -Jay ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

[XFree86] Operation of Cutbuffers
Hello. I noticed that in X, I can cut paste _within_ an app, or at best, from Nedit to Mozilla/Netscape- but no other apps (that I can recall, ATM). I was looking thru one bin/ directory the other day and noticed there are two utils, wxcopy wxpaste, which are supposed to, from what I got out of reading the man page, copy text from files into the cutbuffers (clipboard) and then back out again. They don't seem to work correctly- nothing happens. With certain apps I can see text in the xclipboard util, but I can't get it back out again to paste it into another application. Then in /etc/X11/xserver, I saw a file SecurityPolicy, with options such as: property CUTBUFFER0 root irw property CUTBUFFER1 root irw property CUTBUFFER2 root irw ... ... property CUTBUFFER(x) root irw (as in numbered 1 thru x, maybe 6 or 7 of them in total). This is only mentioned in the SecurityPolicy file, and nowhere in the regular XFree Config file. The comment next to it suggested that the option was disabled for security reasons, because, as it stated may give away too much info. Is this what I'm thinking it is, e.g. the way to re-enable the cutbuffers/clipboards to work? If so, why did Mozilla's + Nedit's work, when all others didn't ? I checked up in /usr/lib/X11/doc, but the documentation there didn't have the answer I was looking for, or I didn't find it in my searching Can anyone help me unravel the mystery of the CUTBUFFER[0-x]'s, or at least point me in the right direction? Cut pasting between apps sure would be helpful, and I hate to mess with config files without knowing what I'm doing 100%.

After all was said and done, I never did get my distro's version of X running. Only once I DL the new version off of the XFree86 site did I get it config'ed right, and then to be honest, I can't remember exactly how I did it! Someone should write a nice shell script that sets things up for you- one that can take into account what kind of system, kind of monitor, etc, or at least prompt the user for that information. Sometimes while I was configuring mine I didn't even know what I needed to know, much less know it. One thing I've noticed too, is that what one person does to get X working isn't nessesarily going to be the same for the next person. Some of the discriptions I read here are nothing like what I went thru, yet my copy works fine, and gets used almost each day. If I remember correctly, one of the methods to setup declared my config file as invalid, kept qouting what was wrong with it, yet when I changed it, something else would be qouted. In the end, I used a different setup method and the file was fine. I think some well-written docs and maybe even a few scripts are in order. The new install script (I forget the exact name, maybe 'Xinstall.sh'?) off the website was what helped me the most. Scripts are a welcome treat, especially if one is new to X, or even new to their OS (or both!), allowing something as complex as X to be setup by anyone. Just my thoughts on the issue... -jayjwa Reg.

Has anyone thought about php bulletin board? This is an extremely bad idea. I, like doubtless many others, prefer to use my email client to write email, rather than someone else's idea of a good user interface for messaging. Forms in a web browser are simply not the right interface for a discussion list. PHP BB is a very popular format, used by business and individuals alike to discuss all kinds of topics. It's feature rich, and supports many, many things a standard mailing list could never. People seem to be against web browsers, and don't wish to use them for anything but viewing a plain, staight-forward webpage. If you've used a form such as PHP BB, you'll see it's not that bad at all! Millions of people can't be wrong, check out a good, well-maintained form and you'll see what I mean. I too like the mailing list format, I just startup Pine, and start reading- no firing up major graphics apps for that. I guess it comes down to a matter of personal taste, and everyone is entitled to their own. I made the suggestion based on what I had observed of people's reations to the BB, and my own expirience (which has been positive). And it was only that, a suggestion. With a mailing list like this one, the messages come to me, and I read them, and reply when I can do so helpfully. I would probably never get round to visiting a bulletin board, because I have better things to do with my time. It also makes for much less load on the server, and admins, to run a straightforward mailing list. Maybe a newsgroup would be a good idea, but I'm not sure the current, relatively low, level of traffic on this list would justify that. I do favour the list becoming subscriber-only-posting, though ... but this has been discussed previously, and decided against; [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the address to which people, including new users, post problems, and as such needs to be open, because it is not acceptable to expect every user who comes up against a problem with the software to subscribe to this list. Now I can see the reasoning in this. It seems this list has I pretty quick turn-over rate- alot of the people that post are gone for good after their question/trouble is solved, with new people coming in to take their place. Maybe I'm just getting old, and don't like these sledgehammer-to-crack-a-nut bulletin boards muscling in on good old fashioned mailing lists! People seem to think that a web browser should be the tool that's used for everything, but in many cases, it's not appropriate, and discussion lists like this one are one of those cases.

[XFree86] XFree86 digest: {X Remotely? HOWTOs, docs, FAQs?}
XFree86 Fans, Here is the situation: I've a friend in another state that I'd like to let use my Xserver/clients (I don't even know if this is the right term for this, basically, just to allow him to run the X-apps I have on my server at his machine from his place, in another state.) He is using some form of Windows, most likely XP. He already has a general account here (this machine), and is trustworthy; I wouldn't mind him using these apps so security is not really an issue, at least in that respect. I've heard this can be done and have read (some of, the ones I thought may contain relative info) the docs that come with my Slackware-Linux distro (i.e. /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTO's ). I think it involves using a 'host' command and exporting the display? I've also heard this uses alot of bandwidth, but would it still be practical (I've only got a regular modem)? Or maybe this is just a bad idea all-around? Also, back when I used Windows, I found an app. called XThin and another, XSecure Pro, both made by Labtam Inc. that supposedly make connecting a Windows machine to a Linux/UNIX machine an easy job. I've used it to FTP telnet. It comes with it's own XServer (and also a NFS server, xclock, xkill, mwm,etc,etc...), although I never used it to connect to a Linux machine while I was running it back then. I still have this app., zip'ed up and available for FTP to him if it should be of any use. I guess what I'm asking is: 1.) how can I set this up (or where to look for a good example of this- docs, faqs, howto's, or whatever) 2.) Can this package (the XThin or XSecure ones referred to above) make this easier for him or myself; how? and 3.) should I attempt this? (i.e.- anyone done this kind of thing themselves or better yet, have knowlege of the XThin XSecure packages and know how to set them up/connect them? Any help'd be great, even if it's a pointer to a doc or howto on the subject. Also, if this is just not a good idea or way of doing this I'd rather hear that than try and fail- I guess he (my friend) can stick with non- X applications if he has to. It's just that he is great with images and I'd like him to be able to use programs like the GIMP to create graphics for our web pages, Quanta for writing HTML, or even smaller utilities that would just be nice to have around, like xclock, emacs, xcalc, Nedit, or xclipboard. The documentation I've found isn't so hot on this subject. For reference, the home page of the XThin XSecure apps is http://www.labtam-inc.com. Thanks, -jay -jayjwa Reg.

It's free too, lots of sites use it. http://www.phpbb.com open source, I think.

But the fact that this mail arrives to the list suggests otherwise. Maybe it would be a good decision to actually make the list subscribers only. That would cut a lot of the spam and virus alerts we are seeing. Bye, Leonard. -- _ Snel en voordelig ADSL nu voor iedereen bereikbaar. Zon Breedband Budget vanaf EUR 14,95 per maand met ZonTel.

[XFree86] Any good downloaders for X?
I've been searching all my favorite download sites, but I can't seem to find a good downloader for X. It should allow DL'ing of whole directories, resume, and be compatible with X and Slackware Linux 9. Can anyone recommend one? -Jay jayjwa AT atr2 DOT ath DOT cx ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
