ConsoleSession's login flow never actually checked anything: the
entered username was discarded and the password was never compared,
so any input (including blank) reached the command prompt. Confirmed
live via an unauthenticated login against BARANTMail's admin console
on port 1027, which was reachable externally. ConsoleServer now takes
an optional credentialChecker callback consulted by the WAIT_PASSWORD
state; omitting it preserves the old accept-anything behavior for any
other use of this class.
Separately, the console never prompted until the client's first line
arrived - that line was silently discarded just to kick the state
machine off, shifting every subsequent line one slot early. Harmless
under the old accept-anything login, but it broke real credential
checking outright (the typed password was compared against the typed
username, etc). ConsoleSession::onConnected() now starts the state
machine immediately on connect instead.
CommandList::processCommand() was a no-op stub - the intended
"typing help lists the registered commands" body was commented out,
and even referenced a Command::getName() that was never added to the
base class. The map's own key from add() already is the registered
name, so this just walks it directly.
Thread/EPoll lifecycle:
- Thread::~Thread() now actually joins/frees its worker thread (was
empty - the OS thread kept running against already-freed EPoll/Socket
objects on any early teardown, a confirmed "double free" crash)
- EPoll::~EPoll() calls stop() if never explicitly stopped, for the
same reason
- epoll_wait() now uses a 1s timeout instead of blocking forever, so a
worker thread can actually notice isStopping() and let itself be
joined
- EPoll::processCommand() iterated threads by value, silently
double-freeing the real vector's Thread the moment each copy went
out of scope
- ThreadScope gained onThreadStart()/onThreadEnd() hooks (actually
wired up now - the constructor that was supposed to store the scope
discarded it) for per-thread C-library init (e.g. MySQL client)
Socket/TCPSocket/TLS:
- Socket::writeSocket(): give up and shut down a connection after 50
consecutive zero-progress sends instead of retrying forever -
SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ on a write needs a READ to make progress, but
resetSocket() re-arms EPOLLWRNORM regardless, which an
already-writable TCP socket satisfies immediately - a real stuck
connection generated 55GB, then 12.9GB of debug log this way before
being caught
- Socket::writeSocket() now honors sendData()'s actual return value
(previously discarded, entry popped unconditionally after one call) -
a large response could get silently truncated past what fit in one
write()/SSL_write() call
- TLS::registerSocket()/sendData()/receiveData(): `initialized` now
only goes true once SSL_set_fd() has actually succeeded, and
sendData()/receiveData() check it first - fixes a real SIGSEGV where
a new session's own queued greeting could reach SSL_write() on a
different epoll thread before this session's handshake setup had run
- TCPServer::connectionRequest() now performs the TLS handshake ON THE
ACCEPTED SESSION, not the listening server itself (was building SSL
state on the wrong object, leaving every session's own `ssl`
uninitialized)
- TCPServer::receiveData() always uses the plain (non-TLS) read path -
the listening socket is never itself a TLS peer
- TCPSocket's block-mode literal reading used an unset `blockLength`
field instead of `blockSize`, and could busy-spin forever on a
multi-packet literal
- TCPSocket line scanning replaced an unbounded strcspn() (assumes a
NUL-terminated buffer; read past a non-NUL-terminated receive buffer
into adjacent heap memory) with a bounds-checked memchr() scan
Protocol/session handling:
- CommandList::processRequest() now case-folds the command keyword
before lookup - SMTP/POP3/IMAP commands are spec-required to be
case-insensitive; a client sending "Mail From:" instead of
"MAIL FROM:" previously failed to dispatch at all
- TCPSession::protocol() no longer drops blank lines while a handler
has grabbed input (e.g. __SMTP_DATA reading a message body, an IMAP
APPEND literal) - those handlers depend on seeing blank lines as
real content, not commands; this silently corrupted any message body
containing a blank line
- TCPSession's uuid alias fixed: streaming a raw uuid_t via operator<<
triggered libstdc++'s unsigned-char* overload (strlen() on 16 binary
bytes, a real stack-buffer-overflow read), and `alias` pointed at a
stack-local that was already destroyed by the time the constructor
returned
- INotify::processEvent() only treats event->name as a NUL-terminated
string when event->len > 0 (per inotify(7)) instead of unconditional
strlen() on a field the kernel doesn't guarantee is even present -
a confirmed heap-buffer-overflow read that had been misdiagnosed as
a MySQL thread-safety issue
