Re: Bus errors and segmentation faults after upgrade to 2.9.7.3 and daq 2.0.5

Just a status update to the list:

The sensor that can create core-files, and that is running without any rpc configuration in snort.conf, has crashed two times (bus-errors) this weekend. I've sent gdb traces to Hui for debugging.



Another sensor (the first one in this mail thread) has crashed several times: Jun 8 10:07:24 foobar kernel: pid 60498 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 8 10:57:57 foobar kernel: pid 85812 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 6 Jun 7 00:01:54 foobar kernel: pid 3016 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 10 Jun 7 00:04:01 foobar kernel: pid 59902 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 7 00:06:32 foobar kernel: pid 1205 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 6 00:01:03 foobar kernel: pid 89879 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 6 00:11:47 foobar kernel: pid 90496 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 6 00:14:29 foobar kernel: pid 90875 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 6 00:16:04 foobar kernel: pid 91092 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 6 00:17:03 foobar kernel: pid 91283 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 6 00:55:40 foobar kernel: pid 1197 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 10 Jun 5 00:01:41 foobar kernel: pid 28428 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 5 00:10:39 foobar kernel: pid 29033 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 5 00:40:41 foobar kernel: pid 30419 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 5 02:19:51 foobar kernel: pid 31823 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 5 02:40:36 foobar kernel: pid 35677 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 5 04:13:10 foobar kernel: pid 37400 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 5 04:40:59 foobar kernel: pid 41243 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 5 05:10:39 foobar kernel: pid 42639 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 5 07:32:41 foobar kernel: pid 44028 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 10 Jun 5 08:20:23 foobar kernel: pid 49105 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 10 Jun 5 23:12:04 foobar kernel: pid 51567 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 10 Jun 5 23:41:02 foobar kernel: pid 88918 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 11 Jun 4 00:08:08 foobar kernel: pid 15912 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 10 Jun 4 00:20:42 foobar kernel: pid 16496 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 10 I've atted gdb to the snort process and wait for a new crash. Will send reports(s) to Hui for debug as they happen.



On the sensor that I downgraded snort (back to 2.9.7.2) but kept DAQ on the latest version 2.0.5, snort has NOT crashed.
So the bug seem to be in the new snort, not in the new DAQ.
(...or the traffic during the weekend didn't trigger a crash. I'm leaving this sensor as-is, to confirm that it does not crash)


I'm using the same snort.conf as I did with Snort 2.9.7.2.
2.9.7.3 is frequently crashing. Hence, the bug(s) must be in the changes between 2.9.7.2 and 2.9.7.3.

Can you disable dce/rpc preprocessor in your configruation and restart snort?

Best,
Hui.

So, my other sensor, on which I disabled chroot and uid/gid change in
snort.conf to keep snort running as root, I now got a signal 10 and a core
dumped.

pid 3744 (snort), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)

The program is running.  Quit anyway (and detach it)? (y or n) Detaching
from program: /usr/local/bin/snort, process 11057




As gdb detached from snort, I got the signal 6 in my syslog:
2015-06-04 17:51:53 +02:00 foobar kernel: pid 11057 (snort), uid 100:
exited on signal 6





So, this time we got a signal 6 but during this sensor's 14 hour uptime
we've seen:
pid 1199 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 10
pid 4503 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 10
pid 5908 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 10
pid 11057 (snort), uid 100: exited on signal 6





I hope this gdb was helpful.
Let me know if it should be run again.





This was all performed on a sensor running:

Hi Hui.

That much I know. It is the debugging steps I'm curious about.

(I think you forgot one important first command: continue )


Is this a good start:

gdb /path/to/snort 1222
(gdb) set logging file gdb-snort.txt
(gdb) set logging on
(gdb) continue

<wait for it to crash>

(gdb) backtrace full
(gdb) info registers
(gdb) x/16i $pc
(gdb) thread apply all backtrace
(gdb) quit

Email the report.


Should I prepare more stuff before the 'continue'?
Like "handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint" or something?

An update:

On a sensor where snort crashed with signal 6 three times, I
downgraded
daq to 2.0.4_1 and rebooted the machine to rule out if the problem
seem
to
be in 'snort' or 'daq'.

With snort 2.9.7.3 and daq 2.0.4_1 I got signal 6 again.


This make me believe that there's something wrong in snort 2.9.7.3
and
not in daq 2.0.5.



On this sensor I have now done the opposite, upgraded daq to 2.0.5
and
downgraded snort to 2.9.7.2 to see if I get any more signal 6.

On another sensor, I'm running 2.9.7.3 (compiled with debug) and daq
2.0.5
without chroot and uid/gid change, i.e. running as root, in order to
create a core file, if the problem happen again.
(if it doesn't happen on this sensor, I guess the problem lies
somewhere
in the chrooting code in snort. I know it has been updated between
2.9.7.2
and 2.9.7.3)

Elof - since this is happening frequently, you could try attaching

debugger to one of your Snort processes and wait wait for segfault.

I know too little about debugging. :-/ Can you give me instructions
or
point me to a guide that describes the steps I should take?

Five different sensors have now had bus errors (signal 10),
segmentation
faults (signal 11) and even signal 6 (SIGABRT).

My snort config uses both chroot and dropping user privileges, so
even
if
I start out as root with ulimit unlimited, this doesn't seem to be
in
effect
after the chroot/uid-change.

So currently I have no core-file to debug. :-/

Anyone know how to set the ulimits for a chrooted and
uid/gid-changed
process in FreeBSD?

Hi Hui!

Yes, the dynamic engine/preproc files are updated as well.

Last night the problem reocurred, so this seem to be reproduceable.
Good.
Then there's a good chance this problem can be sorted out.


A few minutes ago a signal 10 happened on another sensor (running
FreeBSD 10.1 amd64), so the problem must be in DAQ 2.0.5 or in
Snort
2.9.7.3 and not in the hardware nor in FreeBSD.


I will compile a debug-snort and try to generate core files.
I'll let you know the outcome next week.

Hi Elof,

Are snort and snort dynamic preprocessors are in sync?

If so, can you help us get a backtrace from the crush? You need
1)  build snort with ./configure --enable-debug
2)  allowing core dump (ulimit -c unlimited)
3) run the snort
4) use "gdb snort core_file " and them type "bt" in the gdb
command
line

Best,
Hui.

This sensor has never behaved like this during its lifetime (1

Bus errors are quite unusual in general, so I'll keep looking at
this,
trying to see if it is e.g. paging errors.
It doesn't look like it though:
# swapinfo
Device          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity
/dev/mirror/swap   4194300        0 4194300     0%

The machine doesn't seem to be overheated either:
System Temp:    30 degrees C
Peripheral Temp: 40 degrees C
CPU Temp: Low


If you need me to do something special to debug this further, let
me
know.


PS. It is only one sensor, out of 20, that behaves like this. So
perhaps
it is something in the mirrored traffic that make DAQ or snort
point
at
illegal memory addresses and crash.
Or this particular machine is having hardware issues. However, it
is
strange that those hw-issues should suddenly start right after I
updated
the software on the machine...

When I write this, the current snort process has been alive for 5
hours.
It's going to be interesting to see if the traffic tonight will
cause it
to crash many times again.
