[kamailio/kamailio] Issue with usrloc 'handle_lost_tcp' and dmq_usrloc 'usrloc_delete' (Issue #3479)
by alternatenetwork 02 May '26

02 May '26

### Description When a TLS connection is closed and handle_lost_tcp=1 the entry is deleted for usrloc. This deletion is not synced via DMQ even though usrloc_delete=1. There is also an issue on the same server if a re-registration happens right after before the timeout was supposed to expire then $var(sv_res) = 2 even though the usrloc table is empty. So it seems like the way handle_lost_tcp deletes is not deleting fully in registrar. usrloc db_mode is 0 ### Troubleshooting #### Reproduction Setup 2 servers with DMQ and close the TCP connection. ### Additional Information * **Kamailio Version** - output of `kamailio -v` ``` version: kamailio 5.6.1 (x86_64/linux) d8f98b flags: USE_TCP, USE_TLS, USE_SCTP, TLS_HOOKS, USE_RAW_SOCKS, DISABLE_NAGLE, USE_MCAST, DNS_IP_HACK, SHM_MMAP, PKG_MALLOC, Q_MALLOC, F_MALLOC, TLSF_MALLOC, DBG_SR_MEMORY, USE_FUTEX, FAST_LOCK-ADAPTIVE_WAIT, USE_DNS_CACHE, USE_DNS_FAILOVER, USE_NAPTR, USE_DST_BLOCKLIST, HAVE_RESOLV_RES, TLS_PTHREAD_MUTEX_SHARED ADAPTIVE_WAIT_LOOPS 1024, MAX_RECV_BUFFER_SIZE 262144, MAX_URI_SIZE 1024, BUF_SIZE 65535, DEFAULT PKG_SIZE 8MB poll method support: poll, epoll_lt, epoll_et, sigio_rt, select. id: d8f98b compiled on 19:05:04 Aug 16 2022 with gcc 8.3.0 ``` * **Operating System**:  ``` Debian 10 ``` -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/issues/3479 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

#### Pre-Submission Checklist    - [X] Commit message has the format required by CONTRIBUTING guide - [X] Commits are split per component (core, individual modules, libs, utils, ...) - [X] Each component has a single commit (if not, squash them into one commit) - [X] No commits to README files for modules (changes must be done to docbook files in `doc/` subfolder, the README file is autogenerated) #### Type Of Change - [ ] Small bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) - [X] New feature (non-breaking change which adds new functionality) - [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would change existing functionality) #### Checklist:  - [ ] PR should be backported to stable branches - [X] Tested changes locally - [ ] Related to issue #XXXX (replace XXXX with an open issue number) #### Description Move permissions module to work with hash tables instead of directly working with lists. Use locks to cover these hash tables. This allows to avoid using crutches alike 0039c50e83916, and gives a race-free usage of tables regardless the amount of data inserted into tables and regardless how many competitive reloads are pending at a time (e.g. 2-3 RPC commands sent at a time to reload same tables). Use hash indexes for a quicker lookup in buckets. Improve the mechanism of duplicate entries detection, use: the source ip, ruri pattern, from pattern and the protocol to detect existing similar entries. Add more safety checks in functions manipulating hash tables, like checking NULL pointers, empty patterns for matching purposes etc. Align return values in trusted/hash implementations so that return values are everywhere considered in the similar way (everything != 0 is considered as failure, 0 is considered as fine). Split tables allocation and initialization. Add destruction handlers for tables instead of manually handling entries freeing. Some other minor improvements.

[kamailio/kamailio] Potential SHM memory leak in pua_dialoginfo / pua modules ? (Issue #4503)
by Alessio Garzi 20 Apr '26

20 Apr '26

Ozzyboshi created an issue (kamailio/kamailio#4503) Hello, on my Kamailio installation I am experiencing a significant memory leak in SHM. Here are the details of my system: ``` version: kamailio 6.0.3 (x86_64/linux) flags: USE_TCP, USE_TLS, USE_SCTP, TLS_HOOKS, USE_RAW_SOCKS, DISABLE_NAGLE, USE_MCAST, NO_SIG_DEBUG, DNS_IP_HACK, SHM_MMAP, PKG_MALLOC, MEM_JOIN_FREE, Q_MALLOC, F_MALLOC, TLSF_MALLOC, DBG_SR_MEMORY, USE_FUTEX, FAST_LOCK-ADAPTIVE_WAIT, USE_DNS_CACHE, USE_DNS_FAILOVER, USE_NAPTR, USE_DST_BLOCKLIST, HAVE_RESOLV_RES, TLS_PTHREAD_MUTEX_SHARED ADAPTIVE_WAIT_LOOPS: 1024 MAX_RECV_BUFFER_SIZE: 262144 MAX_SEND_BUFFER_SIZE: 262144 MAX_URI_SIZE: 1024 BUF_SIZE: 65535 DEFAULT PKG_SIZE: 8MB poll method support: poll, epoll_lt, epoll_et, sigio_rt, select compiled with gcc 14.2.0 ``` The memory leak appears only when the presence feature is enabled. When presence is active, Kamailio starts running dialog_publish(), whose code is here: https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/blob/9dc160d1d2bdf0542d3d9d8ae090bb135… This function does not send the PUBLISH directly: it calls pua_send_publish(), which is a function pointer referring to the send_publish() implementation in the pua module. Then send_publish() eventually calls set_uac_req() and tmb.t_request(): https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/blob/9dc160d1d2bdf0542d3d9d8ae090bb135… Digging further, tmb.t_request() maps to request() in the TM module, which calls t_uac_with_ids() and then t_uac_prepare(). Now comes the suspicious part: If I comment out the call to t_uac_prepare(), the memory leak disappears. This doesn’t necessarily mean the bug is inside t_uac_prepare(), but it’s a strong hint. t_uac_prepare() allocates a new struct cell and returns it: https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/blob/9dc160d1d2bdf0542d3d9d8ae090bb135… My concern is: is this cell always freed? The matching cleanup function is free_cell(), used only here: https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/blob/9dc160d1d2bdf0542d3d9d8ae090bb135… From what I can tell, free_cell() is called only if all these conditions are true: - dst_cell == 0 - is_ack == 1 - dst_req == 0 - In my situation no ACK is involved (Kamailio is a proxy that sends PUBLISH and immediately gets a 200 OK). Therefore, is_ack is always false meaning the free_cell() cleanup logic is skipped entirely. I tried forcing free_cell() unconditionally, but it leads to crashes, so clearly other parts of the code still rely on this structure. Does the current free_cell() logic look correct to you? Is it expected that struct cell allocated by t_uac_prepare() remains unfreed in cases where PUBLISH → 200 OK occurs without ACK? Any guidance on how to proceed or where else to look would be greatly appreciated.

Will editing the CMAKE scripts will be enough (in which case I can open a PR for it), or does it require modifying the Jenkins pipelines?

[kamailio/kamailio] Kamailio 5.4.x dialog profiles functionality dead-lock on certain high-load scenarios (Issue #2923)
by Henning Westerholt 03 Apr '26

03 Apr '26

### Description The Kamailio 5.4.x dialog profiles functionality can lead to dead-lock on certain high-load scenarios. The Kamailio dialog profiles are used to track parallel channels for about 200 outgoing PSTN carrier interconnections. During high traffic times (like several thousands parallel calls) the Kamailio server will frequently (e.g. hourly) goes into an end-less loop while executing get_profile_size in the configuration script. This causes the locking for the dialog profiles never be released and Kamailio will stop serving traffic. Internal monitoring tools and RPC commands stay working, as long as they do not touch the dialog functionality. A similar (dedicated) Kamailio setup is used for tracking parallel channels for customers. Here the dead-lock is not observed that frequently, but aparentely also some crashes happens in a much longer time interval. ### Troubleshooting After analysis of the back-traces with GDB the get_profile_size() function was removed from the configuration script. After this change the crash did not happened anymore for several days. #### Reproduction Issue could not be reproduced so far. #### Debugging Data ##### bt 1 (some data removed) (gdb) bt \# 0 0x00007f57cf3b00da in get_profile_size (profile=0x7f50ccbc7e80, value=0x7ffd9928f300) at dlg_profile.c:859 n = 364 i = 12 ph = 0x7f50d3e4b7d0 \# 1 0x00007f57cf419c67 in w_get_profile_size_helper (msg=0x7f57d699d418, profile=0x7f50ccbc7e80, value=0x7ffd9928f300, spd=0x7f57d6916960) at dialog.c:941 \# 2 0x00007f57cf41a459 in w_get_profile_size3 (msg=0x7f57d699d418, profile=0x7f50ccbc7e80, value=0x7f57d6935118, result=0x7f57d6916960) at dialog.c:982 \# 3 0x0000000000463fea in do_action (h=0x7ffd99293610, a=0x7f57d6936488, msg=0x7f57d699d418) at core/action.c:1094 \# 4 0x00000000004711ee in run_actions (h=0x7ffd99293610, a=0x7f57d6936488, msg=0x7f57d699d418) at core/action.c:1581 \# 5 0x000000000046058b in do_action (h=0x7ffd99293610, a=0x7f57d690fda8, msg=0x7f57d699d418) at core/action.c:700 The first back-trace was taking from a running process with gdb.

[kamailio/kamailio] http_client leaks TLS shared memory (Issue #4231)
by Alexander Bakker 01 Apr '26

01 Apr '26

alexbakker created an issue (kamailio/kamailio#4231) ### Description Performing an HTTPS request using the ``http_client`` module results in a shared memory leak, seemingly related to TLS. ### Troubleshooting #### Reproduction Our use case for ``http_client`` is to update an htable with the latest banned IP's from APIBAN as described here: https://github.com/apiban/apiban?tab=readme-ov-file#integration-into-kamail…. Normally, we refresh the list of banned IP's once every 15 minutes, so the shared memory usage grows fairly slowly. The issue can be reproduced using the Kamailio configuration file below. To demonstrate the issue and make the shared memory usage grow faster, we set up a timer that calls ``http_client_query`` in a tight loop. To prevent unnecessary load on the APIBAN infrastructure, we request an example file from my personal server instead. ``` #!KAMAILIO debug=2 log_stderror=yes fork=yes enable_tls=1 loadmodule "tls.so" loadmodule "cfg_rpc.so" loadmodule "pv.so" loadmodule "xlog.so" loadmodule "ctl.so" loadmodule "rtimer.so" loadmodule "http_client.so" modparam("tls", "certificate", "") modparam("tls", "private_key", "") modparam("rtimer", "timer", "name=apiban;interval=100u;mode=1;") modparam("rtimer", "exec", "timer=apiban;route=APIBAN;") route[APIBAN] { xinfo("running apiban refresh\n"); http_client_query("https://alexbakker.me/u/7bvjn9jfas.txt", "$var(banned)"); } ``` Start Kamailio: ``` kamailio -f kamailio.cfg -DD ``` And then watch the shared memory usage grow rapidly: ``` watch -n1 -- kamcmd core.shmmem ``` #### Log Messages Eventually, Kamailio will run out of shared memory and print the following messages to the log: ``` 21(184184) INFO: <script>: running apiban refresh 21(184184) ERROR: http_client [functions.c:471]: curL_request_url(): failed to perform curl (56) (url: https://alexbakker.me/u/7bvjn9jfas.txt) 21(184184) INFO: <script>: running apiban refresh 21(184184) ERROR: http_client [functions.c:471]: curL_request_url(): failed to perform curl (56) (url: https://alexbakker.me/u/7bvjn9jfas.txt) 21(184184) INFO: <script>: running apiban refresh 21(184184) WARNING: http_client [functions.c:453]: curL_request_url(): TLS error in curl connection (url: https://alexbakker.me/u/7bvjn9jfas.txt) 21(184184) INFO: <script>: running apiban refresh 21(184184) WARNING: http_client [functions.c:453]: curL_request_url(): TLS error in curl connection (url: https://alexbakker.me/u/7bvjn9jfas.txt) 21(184184) INFO: <script>: running apiban refresh 21(184184) WARNING: http_client [functions.c:453]: curL_request_url(): TLS error in curl connection (url: https://alexbakker.me/u/7bvjn9jfas.txt) 21(184184) INFO: <script>: running apiban refresh 21(184184) WARNING: http_client [functions.c:453]: curL_request_url(): TLS error in curl connection (url: https://alexbakker.me/u/7bvjn9jfas.txt) 21(184184) INFO: <script>: running apiban refresh 21(184184) ERROR: <core> [core/mem/q_malloc.c:758]: qm_realloc(): qm_realloc(0x7585c73c4000, 1024) called from tls: tls_init.c: ser_realloc(372), module: tls; qm_malloc() failed! 21(184184) INFO: <script>: running apiban refresh 21(184184) INFO: <script>: running apiban refresh 21(184184) ERROR: <core> [core/mem/q_malloc.c:758]: qm_realloc(): qm_realloc(0x7585c73c4000, 1024) called from tls: tls_init.c: ser_realloc(372), module: tls; qm_malloc() failed! 21(184184) WARNING: http_client [functions.c:453]: curL_request_url(): TLS error in curl connection (url: https://alexbakker.me/u/7bvjn9jfas.txt) 21(184184) INFO: <script>: running apiban refresh 21(184184) INFO: <script>: running apiban refresh 21(184184) WARNING: http_client [functions.c:463]: curL_request_url(): TLS CA certificate read error (url: https://alexbakker.me/u/7bvjn9jfas.txt) ``` ``mem_dump_shm`` reports a large list of TLS-related allocations.
