In sql_class.cc, 'row_count', of type 'ha_rows', was used as last argument for
ER_TRUNCATED_WRONG_VALUE_FOR_FIELD which is
"Incorrect %-.32s value: '%-.128s' for column '%.192s' at row %ld".
So 'ha_rows' was used as 'long'.
On SPARC32 Solaris builds, 'long' is 4 bytes and 'ha_rows' is 'longlong' i.e. 8 bytes.
So the printf-like code was reading only the first 4 bytes.
Because the CPU is big-endian, 1LL is 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01
so the first four bytes yield 0. So the warning message had "row 0" instead of
"row 1" in test outfile_loaddata.test:
-Warning 1366 Incorrect string value: '\xE1\xE2\xF7' for column 'b' at row 1
+Warning 1366 Incorrect string value: '\xE1\xE2\xF7' for column 'b' at row 0
All error-messaging functions which internally invoke some printf-life function
are potential candidate for such mistakes.
One apparently easy way to catch such mistakes is to use
ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT (from my_attribute.h).
But this works only when call site has both:
a) the format as a string literal
b) the types of arguments.
So:
func(ER(ER_BLAH), 10);
will silently not be checked, because ER(ER_BLAH) is not known at
compile time (it is known at run-time, and depends on the chosen
language).
And
func("%s", a va_list argument);
has the same problem, as the *real* type of arguments is not
known at this site at compile time (it's known in some caller).
Moreover,
func(ER(ER_BLAH));
though possibly correct (if ER(ER_BLAH) has no '%' markers), will not
compile (gcc says "error: format not a string literal and no format
arguments").
Consequences:
1) ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT is here added only to functions which in practice
take "string literal" formats: "my_error_reporter" and "print_admin_msg".
2) it cannot be added to the other functions: my_error(),
push_warning_printf(), Table_check_intact::report_error(),
general_log_print().
To do a one-time check of functions listed in (2), the following
"static code analysis" has been done:
1) replace
my_error(ER_xxx, arguments for substitution in format)
with the equivalent
my_printf_error(ER_xxx,ER(ER_xxx), arguments for substitution in
format),
so that we have ER(ER_xxx) and the arguments *in the same call site*
2) add ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT to push_warning_printf(),
Table_check_intact::report_error(), general_log_print()
3) replace ER(xxx) with the hard-coded English text found in
errmsg.txt (like: ER(ER_UNKNOWN_ERROR) is replaced with
"Unknown error"), so that a call site has the format as string literal
4) this way, ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT can effectively do its job
5) compile, fix errors detected by ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT
6) revert steps 1-2-3.
The present patch has no compiler error when submitted again to the
static code analysis above.
It cannot catch all problems though: see Field::set_warning(), in
which a call to push_warning_printf() has a variable error
(thus, not replacable by a string literal); I checked set_warning() calls
by hand though.
See also WL 5883 for one proposal to avoid such bugs from appearing
again in the future.
The issues fixed in the patch are:
a) mismatch in types (like 'int' passed to '%ld')
b) more arguments passed than specified in the format.
This patch resolves mismatches by changing the type/number of arguments,
not by changing error messages of sql/share/errmsg.txt. The latter would be wrong,
per the following old rule: errmsg.txt must be as stable as possible; no insertions
or deletions of messages, no changes of type or number of printf-like format specifiers,
are allowed, as long as the change impacts a message already released in a GA version.
If this rule is not followed:
- Connectors, which use error message numbers, will be confused (by insertions/deletions
of messages)
- using errmsg.sys of MySQL 5.1.n with mysqld of MySQL 5.1.(n+1)
could produce wrong messages or crash; such usage can easily happen if
installing 5.1.(n+1) while /etc/my.cnf still has --language=/path/to/5.1.n/xxx;
or if copying mysqld from 5.1.(n+1) into a 5.1.n installation.
When fixing b), I have verified that the superfluous arguments were not used in the format
in the first 5.1 GA (5.1.30 'bteam@astra04-20081114162938-z8mctjp6st27uobm').
Had they been used, then passing them today, even if the message doesn't use them
anymore, would have been necessary, as explained above.
privileges".
The first problem was that DROP USER didn't properly remove privileges
on stored functions from in-memory structures. So the dropped user
could have called stored functions on which he had privileges before
being dropped while his connection was still around.
Even worse if a new user with the same name was created he would
inherit privileges on stored functions from the dropped user.
Similar thing happened with old user name and function privileges
during RENAME USER.
This problem stemmed from the fact that the handle_grant_data() function
which handled DROP/RENAME USER didn't take any measures to update
in-memory hash with information about function privileges after
updating them on disk.
This patch solves this problem by adding code doing just that.
The second problem was that RENAME USER didn't properly update in-memory
structures describing table-level privileges and privileges on stored
procedures. As result such privileges could have been lost after a rename
(i.e. not associated with the new name of user) and inherited by a new
user with the same name as the old name of the original user.
This problem was caused by code handling RENAME USER in
handle_grant_struct() which [sic!]:
a) tried to update wrong (tables) hash when updating stored procedure
privileges for new user name.
b) passed wrong arguments to function performing the hash update and
didn't take into account the way in which such update could have
changed the order of the hash elements.
This patch solves this problem by ensuring that a) the correct hash
is updated, b) correct arguments are used for the hash_update()
function and c) we take into account possible changes in the order
of hash elements.
Fix assorted warnings that are generated in optimized builds.
Most of it is silencing variables that are set but unused.
This patch also introduces the MY_ASSERT_UNREACHABLE macro
which helps the compiler to deduce that a certain piece of
code is unreachable.
Fix warnings flagged by the new warning option -Wunused-but-set-variable
that was added to GCC 4.6 and that is enabled by -Wunused and -Wall. The
option causes a warning whenever a local variable is assigned to but is
later unused. It also warns about meaningless pointer dereferences.
Although the C standard mandates that sprintf return the number
of bytes written, some very ancient systems (i.e. SunOS 4)
returned a pointer to the buffer instead. Since these systems
are not supported anymore and are hopefully long dead by now,
simply remove the portability wrapper that dealt with this
discrepancy. The autoconf check was causing trouble with GCC.
DROP USER
RENAME USER CURRENT_USER() ...
GRANT ... TO CURRENT_USER()
REVOKE ... FROM CURRENT_USER()
ALTER DEFINER = CURRENT_USER() EVENTbut, When these statements are binlogged, CURRENT_USER() just is binlogged
as 'CURRENT_USER()', it is not expanded to the real user name. When slave
executes the log event, 'CURRENT_USER()' is expand to the user of slave
SQL thread, but SQL thread's user name always NULL. This breaks the replication.
After this patch, session's user will be written into query log events
if these statements call CURREN_USER() or 'ALTER EVENT' does not assign a definer.
DROP USER
RENAME USER CURRENT_USER() ...
GRANT ... TO CURRENT_USER()
REVOKE ... FROM CURRENT_USER()
ALTER DEFINER = CURRENT_USER() EVENTbut, When these statements are binlogged, CURRENT_USER() just is binlogged
as 'CURRENT_USER()', it is not expanded to the real user name. When slave

A failed REVOKE statement is logged with error=0, thus causing
the slave to stop. The slave should not stop as this was an
expected error. Given that the execution failed on the master as
well the error code should be logged so that the slave can replay
the statement, get an error and compare with the master's
execution outcome. If errors match, then slave can proceed with
replication, as the error it got, when replaying the statement,
was expected.
In this particular case, the bug surfaces because the error code
is pushed to the THD diagnostics area after writing the event to
the binary log. Therefore, it would be logged with the THD
diagnostics area clean, hence its error code would not contain
the correct code.
We fix this by moving the error reporting ahead of the call to
the routine that writes the event to the binary log.
In RBR, DDL statement will change binlog format to non row-based
format before it is binlogged, but the binlog format was not be
restored, and then manipulating a temporary table can not reset binlog
format to row-based format rightly. So that the manipulated statement
is binlogged with statement-based format.
To fix the problem, restore the state of binlog format after the DDL
statement is binlogged.
In certain rare cases when a process was interrupted
during a FLUSH PRIVILEGES operation the diagnostic
area would be set to an error state but the function
responsible for the operation would still signal
success. This would lead to a debug assertion error
later on when the server would attempt to reset the
DA before sending the error message.
This patch fixes the issue by assuring that
reload_acl_and_cache() always fails if an error
condition is raised.
The second issue was that a KILL could cause
a console error message which referred to a DA
state without first making sure that such a
state existed.
This patch fixes this issue in two different
palces by first checking DA state before
fetching the error message.
Bug#35589 SET PASSWORD caused a crash
Bug#35591 FLUSH PRIVILEGES caused a crash
A race condition on the privilege hash tables (proc_priv_hash
and func_priv_hash) caused one thread to try to delete elements
that had already been deleted by another thread.
The bug was caused by reading and saving the pointers to
the hash tables outside mutex protection. This led to an
inconsistency where a thread copied a pointer to a hash,
another thread did the same, the first thread then deleted
the hash, and the second then crashed when it in turn tried to
delete the deleted hash.
The fix is to ensure that operations on the shared hash structures
happens under mutex protection (moving the locking up a little)
The problem is a somewhat common misusage of the strmake function.
The strmake(dst, src, len) function writes at most /len/ bytes to
the string pointed to by src, not including the trailing null byte.
Hence, if /len/ is the exact length of the destination buffer, a
one byte buffer overflow can occur if the length of the source
string is equal to or greater than /len/.
{PROCEDURE|FUNCTION} FROM ...'
The master would hit an assertion when binary log was
active. This was due to the fact that the thread's diagnostics
area was being cleared before writing to the binlog,
independently of mysql_routine_grant returning an error or
not. When mysql_routine_grant was to return an error, the return
value and the diagnostics area contents would
mismatch. Consequently, neither my_ok would be called nor an
error would be signaled in the diagnostics area, eventually
triggering the assertion in net_end_statement.
We fix this by not clearing the diagnostics area at binlogging
time.
The problem is that the server could crash when attempting
to access a non-conformant proc system table. One such case
was a crash when invoking stored procedure related statements
on a 5.1 server with a proc system table in the 5.0 format.
The solution is to validate the proc system table format
before attempts to access it are made. If the table is not
in the format that the server expects, a message is written
to the error log and the statement that caused the table to
be accessed fails.
CURRENT_USER() in GRANT ... TO CURRENT_USER() only gave us a definer,
not a full user (i.e., password-element was not initiliazed). Hence
dereferencing the password led to a crash.
Properly initializes definers now, just so there are no misunderstandings.
Also does some magic so IDENTIFIED BY ... works with CURRENT_USER().
Problem 1:
column_priv_hash uses utf8_general_ci collation
for the key comparison. The key consists of user name,
db name and table name. Thus user with privileges on table t1
is able to perform the same operation on T1
(the similar situation with user name & db name, see acl_cache).
So collation which is used for column_priv_hash and acl_cache
should be case sensitive.
The fix:
replace system_charset_info with my_charset_utf8_bin for
column_priv_hash and acl_cache
Problem 2:
The same situation with proc_priv_hash, func_priv_hash,
the only difference is that Routine name is case insensitive.
So the fix is to use my_charset_utf8_bin for
proc_priv_hash & func_priv_hash and convert routine name into lower
case before writing the element into the hash and
before looking up the key.
Additional fix: mysql.procs_priv Routine_name field collation
is changed to utf8_general_ci.
It's necessary for REVOKE command
(to find a field by routine hash element values).
Note:
It's safe for lower-case-table-names mode too because
db name & table name are converted into lower case
(see GRANT_NAME::GRANT_NAME).
grants are reapplied.
After renaming a user and trying to re-apply grants results in additional
grants.
This is because we use username as part of the key for GRANT_TABLE structure.
When the user is renamed, we only change the username stored and the hash key
still contains the old user name and this results in the extra privileges
Fixed by rebuilding the hash key and updating the column_priv_hash structure
when the user is renamed
Implemented the server infrastructure for the fix:
1. Added a function LEX_STRING *thd_query_string(THD) to return
a LEX_STRING structure instead of char *.
This is the function that must be called in innodb instead of
thd_query()
2. Did some encapsulation in THD : aggregated thd_query and
thd_query_length into a LEX_STRING and made accessor and mutator
methods for easy code updating.
3. Updated the server code to use the new methods where applicable.
view definition
During SHOW CREATE VIEW there is no reason to 'anonymize'
errors that name objects that a user does not have access
to. Moreover it was inconsistently implemented. For example
base tables being referenced from a view appear to be ok,
but not views. The manual on the other hand is clear: If a
user has the privileges SELECT and SHOW VIEW, the view
definition is available to that user, period. The fix
changes the behavior to support the manual.
with gcc 4.3.2
This patch fixes a number of GCC warnings about variables used
before initialized. A new macro UNINIT_VAR() is introduced for
use in the variable declaration, and LINT_INIT() usage will be
gradually deprecated. (A workaround is used for g++, pending a
patch for a g++ bug.)
GCC warnings for unused results (attribute warn_unused_result)
for a number of system calls (present at least in later
Ubuntus, where the usual void cast trick doesn't work) are
also fixed.
view that has Group By
Table access rights checking function check_grant() assumed
that no view is opened when it's called.
This is not true with nested views where the inner view
needs materialization. In this case the view is already
materialized when check_grant() is called for it.
This caused check_grant() to not look for table level
grants on the materialized view table.
Fixed by checking if a view is already materialized and if
it is check table level grants using the original table name
(not the ones of the materialized temp table).
The problem: described in the bug report.
The fix:
--increase buffers where it's necessary
(buffers which are used in stxnmov)
--decrease buffer lengths which are used

Compiling MySQL with gcc 4.3.2 and later produces a number of
warnings, many of which are new with the recent compiler
versions.
This bug will be resolved in more than one patch to limit the
size of changesets. This is the second patch, fixing more
of the warnings.
The SQL-mode PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH could prevent a DROP USER
statement from privileges associated with the user being dropped.
What ocurred was that reading from the User and Host fields of
the tables tables_priv or columns_priv would yield values padded
with spaces, causing a failure to match a specified user or host
('user' != 'user ');
The solution is to disregard the PAD_CHAR_TO_FULL_LENGTH mode
when iterating over and matching values in the privileges tables
for a DROP USER statement.

Compiling MySQL with gcc 4.3.2 and later produces a number of
warnings, many of which are new with the recent compiler

This bug will be resolved in more than one patch to limit the

The crash happens because of uninitialized
lex->ssl_cipher, lex->x509_subject, lex->x509_issuer variables.
The fix is to add initialization of these variables for
stored procedures&functions.
Make the caller of Query_log_event, Execute_load_log_event
constructors and THD::binlog_query to provide the error code
instead of having the constructors to figure out the error code.
MySQL crashes if a user without proper privileges attempts to create a procedure.
The crash happens because more than one error state is pushed onto the Diagnostic
area. In this particular case the user is denied to implicitly create a new user
account with the implicitly granted privileges ALTER- and EXECUTE ROUTINE.
The new account is needed if the original user account contained a host mask.
A user account with a host mask is a distinct user account in this context.
An alternative would be to first get the most permissive user account which
include the current user connection and then assign privileges to that
account. This behavior change is considered out of scope for this bug patch.
The implicit assignment of privileges when a user creates a stored routine is a
considered to be a feature for user convenience and as such it is not
a critical operation. Any failure to complete this operation is thus considered
non-fatal (an error becomes a warning).
The patch back ports a stack implementation of the internal error handler interface.
This enables the use of multiple error handlers so that it is possible to intercept
and cancel errors thrown by lower layers. This is needed as a error handler already
is used in the call stack emitting the errors which needs to be converted.
