DB2TRC MIGHT TRAP WHEN FORMATTING LONG CLI MESSAGE WHILE PARSING A TRACE RECORD FOR SQLGETDIAGFIELDW | |
product: | |
DB2 CONNECT / DB2CONNCT / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
The db2trc executable that is shipped with the CLI/ODBC driver uses the "-cli" component customer formatter trace option by default when formatting a trace dump file ("format/fmt" command). If the trace dump contains a very long CLI message then db2trc might trap because of a corrupted stack. Note: The trap might also manifest in hang/looping within the SEGV signal handler. Such a long message text has been observed when parsing the trace dump record for a CLI SQLGetDiagFieldW() call. A stack trace gathered when running db2trc within a debugger like gdb shows: (gdb) run fmt ddntt.dmp ddntt.fmt Starting program: /workbig/user/clidriver/adm/db2trc fmt ddntt.dmp ddntt.fmt Trace truncated : NO Trace wrapped : NO Total number of trace records : 44585 Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0000000000423c05 in sqltcliTrcFmt () (gdb) where #0 0x0000000000423c05 in sqltcliTrcFmt () #1 0x006400650073006e in ?? () #2 0x0069006800740020 in ?? () #3 0x0072007000200073 in ?? () ... The top function will show sqltcliTrcFmt() while the rest of the call stack is corrupted. | |
