Hi guys:

I encountered a problem today that the Zookeeper C Client (version 3.2.0)
core dump when reconnected and did some operations on the zookeeper server
which just restarted. The gdb infomation is like:

(gdb) bt
#0  0x000000302af71900 in memcpy () from /lib64/tls/libc.so.6
#1  0x000000000047bfe4 in ia_deserialize_string (ia=Variable "ia" is not

270     in src/recordio.c
(gdb) info locals
priv = (struct buff_struct *) 0x9cd8d0
*len = -1*
rc = Variable "rc" is not available.

According to the source code,
int ia_deserialize_string(struct iarchive *ia, const char *name, char **s)
{
    struct buff_struct *priv = ia->priv;
    int32_t len;
    *int rc = ia_deserialize_int(ia, "len", &len);*
    if (rc < 0)
        return rc;
    if ((priv->len - priv->off) < len) {
        return -E2BIG;
    }
    *s = malloc(len+1);
    if (!*s) {
        return -ENOMEM;
    }
    memcpy(*s, priv->buffer+priv->off, len);
    (*s)[len] = '\0';
    priv->off += len;
    return 0;
}

the variable len is set by ia_deserialize_int, and the returned len doesn't
been checked, so the client segment fault when trying to memcpy -1 byte
data.
I'm not sure why the client got the len variable -1 when deserialize the
response from the server, I'm also not sure whether it is an known issue.
Could any
one give me some information about this problem?
