From: Nick Wellnhofer Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2013 00:01:53 +0100 Subject: Handling of XPath function arguments in error case The XPath engine tries to guarantee that every XPath function can pop 'nargs' non-NULL values off the stack. libxslt, for example, relies on this assumption. But the check isn't thorough enough if there are errors during the evaluation of arguments. This can lead to segfaults: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/xslt/2013-December/msg00005.html This commit makes the handling of function arguments more robust. * Bail out early when evaluation of XPath function arguments fails. * Make sure that there are 'nargs' arguments in the current call frame. --- xpath.c | 9 +++++++-- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/xpath.c b/xpath.c index a676989..a75df9b 100644 --- a/xpath.c +++ b/xpath.c @@ -13512,10 +13512,15 @@ xmlXPathCompOpEval(xmlXPathParserContextPtr ctxt, xmlXPathStepOpPtr op) int frame; frame = xmlXPathSetFrame(ctxt); - if (op->ch1 != -1) + if (op->ch1 != -1) { total += xmlXPathCompOpEval(ctxt, &comp->steps[op->ch1]); - if (ctxt->valueNr < op->value) { + if (ctxt->error != XPATH_EXPRESSION_OK) { + xmlXPathPopFrame(ctxt, frame); + return (total); + } + } + if (ctxt->valueNr < ctxt->valueFrame + op->value) { xmlGenericError(xmlGenericErrorContext, "xmlXPathCompOpEval: parameter error\n"); ctxt->error = XPATH_INVALID_OPERAND;
