Hello! I was analyzing your module with Svace SAST tool and found vulnerability in
ngx_strncpy_s. The problem is ngx_palloc function return value not being checked though it should. Here is source code:ngx_http_auth_pam_module/ngx_http_auth_pam_module.c
Lines 258 to 266 in d9429ba
ngx_pallocis guaranteed not to return NULL only if free space exists for the variable in one of the existing pools in the linked list (refer to howngx_palloc_smallworks). We cannot guarantee with absolute certainty that such space will always be available. If space is unavailable, memory allocation will be triggered: firstngx_palloc_blockwill be called, followed byngx_memalign, which internally allocates memory viaposix_memalignormemalign. These functions may return NULL. Therefore, ngx_palloc and functions using it should always be checked.I've changed function return type, now it returns
NGX_OKorNGX_ERRORandchar*variable is passed as one of the arguments. If allocation failed server will returnNGX_HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR. The chance it will happen is pretty low but it still may happen.Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
