  • malformed ip causes ircd to crash

    From Nigel Reed@VERT to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Tue Jun 8 15:15:09 2021
    open https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/271

    Running ircd standalone.

    Further more, when this happens ircd is unable to restart:

    I'm getting about 6-7 of these per second which fills the logfiles pretty quick if I don't catch it.

    Same issue here - ircd locking up every few days with same errors:

    0015 Accepted new connection: <unknown address family: 0> port 0
    !JavaScript /sbbs/exec/load/dns.js line 764: Error: Malformed IP address <unknown address family: 0>
    !JavaScript /sbbs/exec/load/dns.js line 764: Error: Malformed IP address <unknown address family: 0>
    /sbbs/exec/ircd.js executed in 25377.39 seconds

    Followed by this repeated error which fills up the ircd.log with gigs of the same error:

    Reading script from /sbbs/exec/ircd.js
    /sbbs/exec/ircd.js compiled in 0.00 seconds
    SynchronetIRCd-1.9b started.

    Restarting ircd brings the service back up, but it dies again within hours.

    Yes. When i created it. I also mentioned it twice, at least, on irc but nothing has been done yet. Enjoy your ircd crashing.

    Update via the #synchronet irc:

    <Cyan> Keyop: the bug you filed on github is for dns.js, and Deuce is the author of that
    <Cyan> I'm going to talk to him about it the next time I see him, but he hasn't been online for a while
    <Keyop> Thanks Cyan :)
    <Keyop> I've just tagged you in the nelgin post, should I tag Deuce instead? <Cyan> nah it's fine, I can bring it up with him and help him test it with the ircd
    <Keyop> Ah coolio - thanks Cyan :)
    <Cyan> just wanted to let you know why there hasn't been much action on it (yet)

    Based on the conversation above, I've reassigned to Deuce.

    Workaround is in ircd and the issue itself was fixed in dns.js, the issue hasn't appeared in a long time so I'm closing this.
