From 5b3cc0c86aeddd4615e7e28e79aa89e5b77a6507 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yusuke Nojima Date: Sun, 30 Apr 2017 02:37:53 +0900 Subject: journald: fix assertion failure on journal_file_link_data. (#5843) When some error occurs during the initialization of JournalFile, the JournalFile can be left without hash tables created. When later trying to append an entry to that file, the assertion in journal_file_link_data() fails, and journald crashes. This patch fix this issue by checking *_hash_table_size in journal_file_verify_header(). --- src/journal/journal-file.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/journal/journal-file.c b/src/journal/journal-file.c index 14cb01a600..243d5198d9 100644 --- a/src/journal/journal-file.c +++ b/src/journal/journal-file.c @@ -613,6 +613,9 @@ static int journal_file_verify_header(JournalFile *f) { return -EBUSY; } + if (f->header->field_hash_table_size == 0 || f->header->data_hash_table_size == 0) + return -EBADMSG; + /* Don't permit appending to files from the future.
