Hi, I don't know if it is an OpenBSD specific issue. I got a segfault in proxychains-ng when using a socks5 proxy to tunnel a ssh connection. SSH print "get_hostfile_hostname_ipaddr: getnameinfo failed" which causes the segfault.

tail -n 1 /tmp/px.conf

socks5 127.0.0.1 8888

./proxychains4 -f /tmp/px.conf ssh -vvvvvv [email protected]

Below is the gdb output with DEBUG activated. A more verbose output with SSH debug activated on http://pastebin.com/ZEwxmfYm

can you add some debug code to pc_getnameinfo to see which branches are taken etc ?

Here are my debug comments: http://pastebin.com/eJeWZRX1 here is the output i got in gdb:

        if(!proxychains_resolver) {
                return true_getnameinfo(sa, salen, host, hostlen, serv, servlen, flags);
        } else {
                if(salen < sizeof(struct sockaddr_in) || SOCKFAMILY(*sa) != AF_INET)
                        return EAI_FAMILY;
                if(hostlen) {
                        pc_stringfromipv4((unsigned char*) &(SOCKADDR_2(*sa)), ip_buf);
                        if(snprintf(host, hostlen, "%s", ip_buf) >= hostlen)
                                return EAI_OVERFLOW;
                }
                if(servlen) {
                        if(snprintf(serv, servlen, "%d", ntohs(SOCKPORT(*sa))) >= servlen)
                                return EAI_OVERFLOW;
                }
        }

which branch does it take ? the if(hostlen) one ? if so we'd need to know the value of hostlen

also check if SOCKFAMILY(*sa) == AF_INET or AF_INET6

PDEBUG("SOCKFAMILY(*sa) == AF_INET: %d\n", SOCKFAMILY(*sa) == AF_INET);
PDEBUG("SOCKFAMILY(*sa) == AF_INET6: %d\n", SOCKFAMILY(*sa) == AF_INET6);

would be helpful if openssh's ssh_connect_direct() would print gai_strerror(ret) rather than just reporting unspecified failure.

Sorry for my previous post. The branch if(hostlen) is taken. hostlen is 256, servlen changes (32 and zero). In gbd:

Here is the output:

i've pushed new getnameinfo code, maybe it fixes the issue; although it looks very weird that salen is 0, possibly there's some memory corruption going on. also note that this time the function get_hostfile_hostname_ipaddr fails, while earlier it was ssh_connect_direct

from sshconnect.c:

        switch (hostaddr == NULL ? -1 : hostaddr->sa_family) {
        case -1:
                addrlen = 0;
                break;

something called get_hostfile_hostname_ipaddr with hostaddr == NULL, likely the code that checks if the ssh key is in known_hosts (check_host_key())

No change apparently with the updated pc_getnameinfo. I'll try to have a closer look the coming week.

any update on this issue?

@shaxo Issue is old and parts are more than likely not relevant anymore, needs to be closed out.

i don't think this should be closed until the issue is researched more thoroughly by a skilled openbsd user.
