Description Matthias Hopf 2011-06-09 06:10:31 UTC
Created attachment 47767 [details]
crash_too_few_vertices.c

If too few vertices are submitted in between glBegin()/glEnd() (and probably also for vertex arrays), the stack is overwritten and Mesa crashes without a meaningful stack trace.

By single stepping I found the culprit:

Apparently, count isn't validated before, and it's unsigned. Question remains whether this should be tested in some upper Mesa layer, because probably more drivers are affected by this.

Find a glut testcase in the attachment.
Comment 1 Ian Romanick 2011-06-09 10:16:49 UTC
There have been some recent changes in this area on master.  Can you reproduce the bug there?
Comment 2 Matthias Hopf 2011-06-09 10:49:32 UTC
As soon as I've got some spare time I'll do it. Expect results next week or so.
Comment 3 Philipp Spitzer 2012-03-25 14:07:49 UTC
As this might be related with the bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47859 I compiled the attachment by calling

g++ -lglut -lGL crash_too_few_vertices.c

on Debian with i915 driver and libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg 8.0-2 (from experimental) and it leads to an SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault as described before.
Comment 4 marius predut 2015-09-09 12:19:19 UTC
A patch that fix this was submitted to the mesa mailing list.
Comment 5 Ian Romanick 2015-09-23 22:35:05 UTC
Fixed by the following patch series.  These should get picked to Mesa 11.0.1 and whatever the next 10.6.x release is.

    t_dd_dmatmp: Use addition instead of subtraction in loop bounds
    
    This is used everywhere else in this file because it avoids problems
    when count is zero (due to trimming).
    
    No piglit regressions on i915 (G33) or radeon (Radeon 7500).

    This was missing in the HAVE_TRIANGLES path, and that could cause

    t_dd_dmatmp: Make "count" actually be the count
    
    The value passed in count previously was "vertex after the last vertex
    to be processed."  Calling that "count" was misleading and kind of mean.
    Looking at the code, many functions immediately do "count-start" to get
    back the true count.  That's just silly.
    
    If it is better for the loops to be 'for (j = start; j < (start +
    count); j++)', GCC will do that transformation.
    
    NOTE: There is some strange formatting left by this patch.  That was
    done to make it more obvious that the before and after code is
    equivalent.  These will be fixed in the next patch.
    
    No piglit regressions on i915 (G33) or radeon (Radeon 7500).
    
    v2: Fix a remaining (count-start) in render_quad_strip_verts.
