Nick Couchman updated GUACAMOLE-608:
------------------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
> Daemon process may encounter dead loop
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: GUACAMOLE-608
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-608
> Project: Guacamole
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: guacd
> Affects Versions: 0.9.14, 1.0.0
> Reporter: Changkun Ou
> Priority: Minor
>
> {{guacd}} involves a {{__write_all}} function to write instruction as much as
> possible, see
> https://github.com/apache/guacamole-server/blob/7c191d7be0441a1cb64c90ab62d6535f3798eacb/src/guacd/connection.c#L67
> However system call {{write}} may return 0 and set {{errno}}, which is not
> verified in the function.
> A possible case: {{write}} keeps return 0 and nothing writes to buffer,
> therefore the daemon process encounters a dead loop, furthermore, it leads
> CPU rate up to 99%.
> A possible fix is:
> {code:none}
> int written = write(fd, buffer, length);
> if (written < 0 || errno > 0)
> return -1;
> {code}
