Ping crashes

Ping crashes

[Lavrentiev, Anton (NIH/NLM/NCBI) [C] via cygwin]

Hello,

I have a problem with the ping utility on Cygwin: it keeps crashing with segmentation fault.  I've checked that all my packages (including Cygwin core)
are up to date.  What am I missing?  At any rate, I guess it should not have crashed ungracefully if it needs something it doesn't have (like a permission); instead, if should have said so and bail out with an error exit code rather than a stackdump (attached).

Thanks,
Anton Lavrentiev

P.S. ping -h works; ping with any IP address -- crashes

$ ping 192.168.1.1

Re: Ping crashes

[Takashi Yano]

Hello, Anton.

I'm a maintainer of ping package. Thank you for your report.

Ping requires administrator privilege in windows OSs older than Windows 10
build 14926. In such OSs, ping should result in error:
'ping: Lacking privilege for raw socket.'

However, with cygwin 2.11.0 or later, it seems that ping crashes with
segmentation fault in the above case, as you reported.

With cygwin 2.10.0, ping does not cause segmentation fault.

I will look into this problem.

I just pushed a patch supposed to fix this issue.  The bug is actually
worse and potentially affects more than just ping.  Every time a socket,
socketpair, or accept call fails for some reason, there's a potential
SEGV.  Oh, boy, oh boy.

I've just uploaded developer snapshots to https://cygwin.com/snapshots/
Please test.

I think this qualifies for a 2.11.2 release pretty soon...


Thanks,
Corinna

Tested for ping on both x86_64 and x86. Solved.

I wonder if that explains occasional curl coredumps?

Thanks for testing, but we need more testing for normal network
operations, too.  I'm going to push out a test release in a few
mins.
