Description

Hi there,

I experienced the following problem: oned crashes when erroneous network request is submitted
through the OCCI interface, namely when the network address value is not present in the request.
Since the same request works when address value added, I guess it might be a bug.

Problem detais

  • Cause: I issued an occi-network create command with a buggy xml file, something like this:
$ sudo su -c "occi-network --url $OCCI_URL --username $USER --password $PASSWORD create $LAN_DEF_PATH" - oneadmin
.Reason:end of file reached

(though the output seems to indicate an error message, it is not obvious for me what it means)

  • Effect: oned is no longer running, meanwhile
    scheduler and occi server is still running...
    oned.pid is stuck
    oned.log doesn't contain any error message, eg. last 5 lines from the log:
    Fri May 28 12:01:08 2010 [ReM][D]: UserAllocate method invoked
    Fri May 28 12:01:09 2010 [ReM][D]: UserPoolInfo method invoked
    Fri May 28 12:01:09 2010 [ReM][D]: UserPoolInfo method invoked
    Fri May 28 12:01:09 2010 [ReM][D]: UserPoolInfo method invoked
    Fri May 28 12:01:09 2010 [ReM][D]: VirtualNetworkAllocate method invoked
    
  • Priority: Currently we are only at the development stage so it is not a urgent issue... but
    I think it is a high priority one since it means that a client can simply crash the whole cloud.
  • Reproduction: I attached a sample xml (buggy-network.xml) you may reproduce the problem with,
    eg.:
$ sudo su -c "occi-network --url $OCCI_URL --username $USER --password $PASSWORD create buggy-network.xml" - oneadmin

I also attached the correct version (network.xml) which works and shows that the problem is caused
by the missing address value.

  • Environment: ONE v.1.4, Debian GNU/Linux

Quick fix

Catching erroneous OCCI messages and refusing them to pass through could workaround the
problem. Something like this:

215:    def post_network(request)
234:           # begin: network address quickfix
235:           if network_info['NETWORK']['ADDRESS'].nil?
236:               error_msg = "Network address not present in the request" 
237:               error     = OpenNebula::Error.new(error_msg)
238:               return error, 400 
239:               end 
240:           # end: network address quickfix
241:           vntemplate = network.to_one_template(

source:src/cloud/occi/lib/OCCIServer.rb

However it might happen that other invalid OCCI messsages will cause the same problem. Thus it
might be useful to examine whether others are effected or not..., and of course the root cause
itself should be found.

Kind regards,
Gyula
