[Bug] Walreciever crashes with SIGABRT for user with scram-sha-256 password

Bắt đầu với fe-auth-scram.c tại scram_free và so sánh các giả định về cấp phát của nó với common/saslprep.c, đặc biệt là các macro cấp phát và các vị trí gọi pg_saslprep. Tái hiện kịch bản chuyển đổi dự phòng của mirror bằng cluster, cấu hình SCRAM và các lệnh pg_ctl được liệt kê, sau đó xác nhận rằng việc đóng kết nối không còn tạo ra SIGABRT hoặc lỗi con trỏ không hợp lệ.

Apache Cloudberry version

The main branch 15d75c672ad360a11f1b7204218a35c016479f0c. Older versions should be affected too because the problem exists at greenplum

What happened

Walreciever crashes with SIGABRT when the connection with primary closes (for ex reconnect) if replication user uses a scram-sha-256 password.

There is a stack trace:

This problem occurs due to linkage frontend code into backend, the scram_free expects that all memory is allocated via malloc and uses free to release it. But the fe-auth-scram.c is compiled into backend binary where saslprep.c compiled without FRONTEND macro - all allocation macros uses postgres memory contexts, so all allocation in pg_saslprep include output password is performed with its usage 1 2. Thus free fails to release palloc'd memory.

What you think should happen instead

No SIGABRT

How to reproduce

How to reproduce:

• create a cluster with mirrors

  DATADIRS=$HOME/cloudberry-data  PORT_BASE=7000 NUM_PRIMARY_MIRROR_PAIRS=1 WITH_MIRRORS=true make create-demo-cluster
  

• set up current user scram-sha-256 password

  set password_encryption to 'scram-sha-256';
  alter user gpadmin  with password 'password';
  

• for dbfast1 change pg_hba.conf- add new record for replication database and gpadmin user with auth method to scram-sha-256 (all other disable)

  host    replication     gpadmin             127.0.0.1/32         scram-sha-256
  

  sed -i 's/.*replication.*/#&/g' ~/cloudberry-data/dbfast1/demoDataDir0/pg_hba.conf
  echo 'host    replication     gpadmin             127.0.0.1/32         scram-sha-256' >> ~/cloudberry-data/dbfast1/demoDataDir0/pg_hba.conf
  

• create password record:

  echo '*:*:*:gpadmin:password' > $HOME/.pgpass && chmod 0600 $HOME/.pgpass
  

• reload the config

  gpstop -u
  

• reload the mirror - to enable scram connection

   pg_ctl stop -D ~/cloudberry-data/dbfast_mirror1/demoDataDir0/
   pg_ctl start -D ~/cloudberry-data/dbfast_mirror1/demoDataDir0/ -o '-c gp_role=execute -p 7003'
  

• stop the primary

  pg_ctl stop -D ~/cloudberry-data/dbfast1/demoDataDir0
  

• the log of dbfast_mirror1 would contain the info about the problem
