History

#1 Updated by Tobias Brunner about 9 years ago

I can't reproduce this, but I suspect it happens because the plugin which provides the implementation for the certificates and crls that are cached in the credential manager is already unloaded when these are flushed from it during destruction. Hence the segmentation fault.

Could you please try if the attached patch fixes the problem.

Regards,
Tobias

Hi!

flush_cache.patch does not apply clean againt strongswan-4.6.1 (daemon.c).

In your patch lib->plugins->unload(lib->plugins); is called after #ifdef ME ... #endif.

In strongswan-4.6.1 the lib->plugins->unload(lib->plugins); is called before #ifdef statement.

Sincerely,
Gabriel

#3 Updated by G. V. about 9 years ago

Hi again!

I modified the patch (called 'lib->credmgr->flush_cache(lib->credmgr, CERT_ANY);' right above 'lib->plugins->unload(lib->plugins);' in daemon.c, strongswan 4.6.1 ).
Compiled strongswan, installed the new version. stopping charon works as expected (no crash anymore).

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,
Gabriel
