790445 - Hitting PORT_Assert(!ss->xtnData.sniNameArr); on TLS 1.1 client to TLS 1.1 server

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(NSS :: Libraries, defect)

Description

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

Trying the new TLS 1.1 code.

Starting the server with
  selfserv -D -p 8443 -d ../server -n localhost.localdomain -B -s -w nss \
    -c ABCDEF:0041:0084cdefgijklmnvyz -i ./serverpid
also happening when I add the new -V SSL3:TLS1.1 option.

Starting client with
  tstclnt -p 8443 -h localhost.localdomain -c f -V TLS1.1:TLS1.1 -f \
    -d ../client -v -w nss \
    < /home/kaie/moz/nss/head/mozilla/security/nss/tests/ssl/sslreq.dat


We hit PORT_Assert(!ss->xtnData.sniNameArr);

Just in case it's interesting, I had a hardware watchpoint set to the place that modifies the string at *xtnData->sniNameArr.data

It got (earlier) reset to zero at

The value gets originally assigned in ssl3_HandleServerNameXtn
  xtnData->sniNameArr = names;

In the debugger I set a watchpoint to
  watch -l xtnData->sniNameArr
and it didn't get changed to zero(as the assert seems to expect).

(Only the DEBUG code in ssl_FreeSocket modified it.)


The assert is only triggered, if the client connects in TLS 1.1 mode

(If the client connects with TLS 1.1 disabled, no abort.)

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

I can no longer reproduce this bug.

It was probably caused by an incorrect change to the NSS tools, that I meanwhile fixed with the latest patch for bug 785170.

I'll reopen the bug, should I see it again.
