Hello,

the values are invalid, probably the previous fragment was writing more.

For now, can you give:

p *(struct qm_frag_end*)((char*)frag-sizeof(struct qm_frag_end))

I expect to be some invalid values as well.

Later I will try to come up with a gdb script to spot the previous fragment.

MEMDBG=1 will make it slightly slower and increases a bit the overhead. But I guess you don't run at the limits of CPU. In the past we used to have it for couple of releases on and nobody complained about performances.

Cheers,
Daniel

(gdb) p *((char*)frag + sizeof(struct qm_frag))
$4 = 99 'c'

Is it okay to run with MEMDBG=1 in production ? Wouldn't it make it a little slow ?

Just let me know if u want so see something else with gdb. Unfortunally  I do not have SIP traces, but I have the core file and some logs.

Hello,

can you provde the output in gdb for:

frame 0

p *frag


p *((char*)frag + sizeof(struct qm_frag))
There were similar reports, so apparently there is a buffer overflow somewhere.

You should update to latest git branch 4.0, because there were some other fixes from 4.0.3. With this occasion, you should set MEMDBG=1 in Makefile.defs before recompiling the new version to be able to catch easier the overwrites of memory.

Hello

We had this crash today with kamailio 4.0.3 .
It ran stable for few weeks until this crash.

GDB here:
