Run emacs and then `M-x eww RET` Expected behavior: Enter URL prompt in mini-buffer Actual behavior: hashing failed '/usr/share/emacs/30.0.50/lisp/gnus/gnus.el.gz' Report: The bug has been reproduced on emacs version 29.0.91 and HEAD which seems to be at 30.0.50. Later, a copy of the aforementioned file was saved somewhere else and the program was uninstalled. Then emacs was recompiled with system's gzip program set to GNU gzip and the initial steps were repeated and the expected behavior was the result. This lead to believing either that there's a bug with how zlib's `inflate()` handles archives or emacs code was having an issue with archives files. The hashes for gz archives generated with different programs were as follows > md5sum gnus-gzip.el.gz edb3d0ffba7f19ff1d4ec3f889609e8a gnus-gzip.el.gz > md5sum gnus.el.gz 985deaaec6a5845ac8d6bd9648957b50 gnus.el.gz And when uncompressing these archives, the resulting file was the same and the hash for the files was the same (omitted for brevity). Now after logging some code in $EMACS_REPO/src/decompress.c, it was learned that in the pigz specific case, `inflate()` was returning Z_BUF_ERROR(-5) which is an indicator for zstream's either `avail_in` or `avail_out` fields are 0. Observing the code in `$EMACS_REPO/src/decompress.c` L154: } while (!stream.avail_out); only checks stream.avail_out and not stream.avail_in which also might have been set to 0. A special case here can be constructed where `avail_in` is 0, and the code keeps looping even though our input buffer is empty and thus causing a Z_BUF_ERROR. Placing a simple check for it fixes the bug in pigz's gz archives case and does not cause any issue with gzip archives. A simple patch with a fix is attached below, I would also like to thank a friend of mine cortexauth whom also helped during my debug sessions. --000000000000ebea4205fd1efa18 Content-Type: text/x-diff; charset="US-ASCII"; name="0001-check-stream.avail_in-as-well-when-looping-to-inflat.patch" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="0001-check-stream.avail_in-as-well-when-looping-to-inflat.patch" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-ID: X-Attachment-Id: f_lie4y7190 RnJvbSBmZmE4ZTE0MGVkOGIwOTNjNjBmMTIzOGJmNzY5MzVlODE1ZTgyYTIxIE1vbiBTZXAgMTcg MDA6MDA6MDAgMjAwMQpGcm9tOiBpY2ViYXJmIDxzeXNncmFtbWVyQHByb3Rvbm1haWwuY29tPgpE YXRlOiBGcmksIDIgSnVuIDIwMjMgMTA6NTE6MjEgKzA1MzAKU3ViamVjdDogW1BBVENIXSBjaGVj ayBzdHJlYW0uYXZhaWxfaW4gYXMgd2VsbCB3aGVuIGxvb3BpbmcgdG8gaW5mbGF0ZSBnegogYXJj aGl2ZQoKLS0tCiBzcmMvZGVjb21wcmVzcy5jIHwgMiArLQogMSBmaWxlIGNoYW5nZWQsIDEgaW5z ZXJ0aW9uKCspLCAxIGRlbGV0aW9uKC0pCgpkaWZmIC0tZ2l0IGEvc3JjL2RlY29tcHJlc3MuYyBi L3NyYy9kZWNvbXByZXNzLmMKaW5kZXggNmVmMTdkYi4uMTYyZjYxNiAxMDA2NDQKLS0tIGEvc3Jj L2RlY29tcHJlc3MuYworKysgYi9zcmMvZGVjb21wcmVzcy5jCkBAIC0xNTEsNyArMTUxLDcgQEAg bWQ1X2d6X3N0cmVhbSAoRklMRSAqc291cmNlLCB2b2lkICpyZXNibG9jaykKIAlyZXR1cm4gLTE7 CiAKICAgICAgIGFjY3VtdWxhdGVfYW5kX3Byb2Nlc3NfbWQ1IChvdXQsIE1ENV9CTE9DS1NJWkUg LSBzdHJlYW0uYXZhaWxfb3V0LCAmY3R4KTsKLSAgICB9IHdoaWxlICghc3RyZWFtLmF2YWlsX291 dCk7CisgICAgfSB3aGlsZSAoc3RyZWFtLmF2YWlsX2luICYmICFzdHJlYW0uYXZhaWxfb3V0KTsK IAogICB9IHdoaWxlIChyZXMgIT0gWl9TVFJFQU1fRU5EKTsKIAotLSAKMi40MC4xCgo= --000000000000ebea4205fd1efa18-- From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Fri Jun 02 07:12:49 2023 Received: (at 63831) by debbugs.gnu.org; 2 Jun 2023 11:12:49 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:39153 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1q52i8-0006VV-VV for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Fri, 02 Jun 2023 07:12:49 -0400 Received: from mail-lf1-f54.google.com ([209.85.167.54]:49437) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1q4znF-0001M5-FM for 63831@debbugs.gnu.org; Fri, 02 Jun 2023 04:05:54 -0400 Received: by mail-lf1-f54.google.com with SMTP id 2adb3069b0e04-4effb818c37so2298934e87.3 for <63831@debbugs.gnu.org>; Fri, 02 Jun 2023 01:05:53 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=20221208; t=1685693147; x=1688285147; h=to:subject:message-id:date:from:mime-version:from:to:cc:subject :date:message-id:reply-to; bh=rd2r2BadyNnosZV+XXoZtsd+gk1zOX8sai49OivVxao=; b=cylO3PSxpeQpI8sIxcE/K2I1zLlyGCxjW9627kiXmlhztmI37sFAt1QfjEfCAxftG/ CMevll/vbBJWUOC8HTE4XKBQ5372of/qkd7i/wW0A3hsyzaYPAhCARgLgUNe0sIp1sqi c0n+is9Tk8K5zNw6cPdjV0fuIOZHy/12bcdTA2ipVAvk3/2Crr6T6nUKN5lJ+f+BDBKd ybiR7xehNWwLOcVKggJS9IWOcqHC6iSrZ2hmrTp6O4MOIY9ADbFr9iUnosFe1D++GHj3 hAgL4SQmpp6qiJoS7CQKdUsDWFzWLg5cp6PDLSKSRNnOkcdm2s0RObhYw05y00u6sWW0 iv3A== X-Google-DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=1e100.net; s=20221208; t=1685693147; x=1688285147; h=to:subject:message-id:date:from:mime-version:x-gm-message-state :from:to:cc:subject:date:message-id:reply-to; bh=rd2r2BadyNnosZV+XXoZtsd+gk1zOX8sai49OivVxao=; b=NxJUODSXjqvW+Iklh6Hfxd5m/SD9PToDjTSBXzGN87QgtH16FCVf/zw8m0f2O2Wo8x OeUrjaLHV928GYHYkzfveSM0FR2OhXiEa+A1cDUZbO4jDCM1LxjDM8/NHludZHQImhGR 6Wwqpz/4Xb46q4GbPBTW20HJFHgBQYr37s7Z02f10cJiicKSGbFZx/0Z5QQBQBUPhcOe 6HnGbagm5iSJzwTh9VnIwILyUnmMXUs4heCHJnmjgoLgzPYWI6Pb/DsLh+w8V0CFxXa9 SLFfb9ZIaXA77fIiGBOqXb/9uSpBZK8W+MQm826JnJ2X57macGPgTc1SNtdSXdFgEhD+ WFzg== X-Gm-Message-State: AC+VfDy8Nr7JaCI0MStvht7ETkKxAi9LTjqnouGFkz7vQP/3DetgJEWd RgVW7tYVXsq4WQkdHlYyOlBGkztbT5ICgStFa8TvFopMP9Y= X-Google-Smtp-Source: ACHHUZ41Sz6odmXmuNT2HkX4gpSuzt5Ag9Oz3VRT9pbwzB74xvi0MASOsr1nDiisq1g9KZRSutq/YEPui84DL22QR3M= X-Received: by 2002:a19:ee13:0:b0:4f4:d0ab:97d5 with SMTP id g19-20020a19ee13000000b004f4d0ab97d5mr1258358lfb.14.1685693146895; Fri, 02 Jun 2023 01:05:46 -0700 (PDT) MIME-Version: 1.0 From: Amritpal Singh Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2023 13:35:38 +0530 Message-ID: Subject: Accidentally submit two bug reports for the same topic To: 63831@debbugs.gnu.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" X-Spam-Score: 0.0 (/) X-Debbugs-Envelope-To: 63831 X-Mailman-Approved-At: Fri, 02 Jun 2023 07:12:48 -0400 X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.18 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sender: "Debbugs-submit" X-Spam-Score: -1.0 (-) I'd like to apologise for submitting two bug reports, as I'd sent another after ~1.5 hour of submitting this bug report.

Placing a simple check > for it fixes the bug in pigz's gz archives case and does not cause any > issue with gzip archives. I'd like to elaborate a bit further on this part mentioned in the bug report-cum-patch email. The code in question where the bug occurs is as follows: > do { > stream.avail_in = fread (in, 1, MD5_BLOCKSIZE, source); > if (ferror (source)) { > inflateEnd (&stream); > return -1; > } > if (stream.avail_in == 0) > break; > stream.next_in = in; > > do { > stream.avail_out = MD5_BLOCKSIZE; > stream.next_out = out; > res = inflate (&stream, Z_NO_FLUSH); > > if (res != Z_OK && res != Z_STREAM_END) > return -1; > > accumulate_and_process_md5 (out, MD5_BLOCKSIZE - stream.avail_out, &ctx); L154: > } while (!stream.avail_out); L155: > > } while (res != Z_STREAM_END); >From here, it is a bit more clear what the originally mentioned `L154` was referring to. The archives compressed using pigz set as the systems' gzip program either via symlink as `gzip` in $PATH or using $GZIP_PROG, fail to hash in this specific instance which is quite strange, nonetheless this patch (provided in the original bug report) fixes the issue of calling inflate() repeatedly (in the inner do-while() loop) when we do not have any more input to process. This happens so, as mentioned before, because `infalte()` can set `stream.avail_in` to 0 which is the available number of bytes to process. And since we're only checking if stream.avail_out hasn't been set to 0 in the inner loop, the hashing fails even though our archive is correctly made and decompresses successfully externally. ps. The patch is in the original bug report.

If we had two people to do the moderation, maybe they could work at different times of day -- that would shorten the usual wait time without incresaing the work. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org) From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sun Jun 04 01:00:28 2023 Received: (at 63831) by debbugs.gnu.org; 4 Jun 2023 05:00:28 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:44652 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1q5fqu-0001vE-Ez for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Sun, 04 Jun 2023 01:00:28 -0400 Received: from eggs.gnu.org ([209.51.188.92]:54756) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1q5fqr-0001uy-54 for 63831@debbugs.gnu.org; Sun, 04 Jun 2023 01:00:27 -0400 Received: from fencepost.gnu.org ([2001:470:142:3::e]) by eggs.gnu.org with esmtps (TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256) (Exim 4.90_1) (envelope-from ) id 1q5fql-0004FM-Pg; Sun, 04 Jun 2023 01:00:19 -0400 DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; q=dns/txt; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gnu.org; s=fencepost-gnu-org; h=References:Subject:In-Reply-To:To:From:Date: mime-version; bh=EQduMzsqyo1RKL79BQkTLbcBPVLwCoV/Bl4wlMxKeLM=; b=Ts/kn/IqyPRG Xg+2Iy02G9DW0JA9P/hvr7xJQ+F5P5izsbnNNjQHLYATYRgmeawsmMr95hAGGfCdrENe0o1H2yX0D VxDT8fdoCuPS5tS/R5YxgFzGF2PNBstHCWS+nRq2y5Cnt3zsEQa8pskt36An3eyL87zHSgauQRnY3 A5HGm3GBtzen0SvPepbdwc1BVuA9SjaPzdKmk+27Kva8JicdK7AwpXLJqMBxn8M9AO022OgmN7B9D tDhcINarIalYzuQUkut4sCS4UT+cftAmsQry6I9P88dqSFPPt7RdccQxXHyoc2y4ROMJ/JAdvFY3G 2XSgq2+eEVvuUmPNPGE3Jg==; Received: from [87.69.77.57] (helo=home-c4e4a596f7) by fencepost.gnu.org with esmtpsa (TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256) (Exim 4.90_1) (envelope-from ) id 1q5fqd-0005Bk-7K; Sun, 04 Jun 2023 01:00:13 -0400 Date: Sun, 04 Jun 2023 08:01:04 +0300 Message-Id: <83legz7re7.fsf@gnu.org> From: Eli Zaretskii To: rms@gnu.org, Michael Albinus In-Reply-To: (message from Richard Stallman on Sat, 03 Jun 2023 17:27:27 -0400) Subject: Re: bug#63831: Accidentally submit two bug reports for the same topic References: <83bkhyawp8.fsf@gnu.org> X-Spam-Score: -2.3 (--) X-Debbugs-Envelope-To: 63831 Cc: 63831@debbugs.gnu.org, icy.amrit@gmail.com X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.18 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sender: "Debbugs-submit" X-Spam-Score: -3.3 (---) > From: Richard Stallman > Cc: icy.amrit@gmail.com, 63831@debbugs.gnu.org > Date: Sat, 03 Jun 2023 17:27:27 -0400 > > > Please be more patient.

I'm not sure I understand what you are suggesting here. What better system did you have in mind?

That bug is indeed low priority, and the change will go to master, which makes it even lower priority (since we are in the process of pretesting Emacs 29.1). The bug report is in my queue, and two days is really way too short to ring the alarm bells about such a minor issue.

No. This would send the information to spam factories that the given email address on debbugs.gnu.org is valid.

AFAIK, Bob Proulx and me are moderating. Bob lives in the USA (Colorado?), I live in Germany, so there are different time zones. Usually, I check debbugs for hold messages several times a day. A delay of 1.5 hours, as reported here, is completely normal. We cannot change it unless we could recruit more moderators. Best regrds, Michael.

While we're on the topic of bug report moderation, is it possible that the current human moderation might be a little ineffective? We've observed that me accidentally submitting a duplicate report made it through human filters, and I had notice another instance of a "spam" email, where no subject or body was present. See: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2023-06/msg00107.html I'm not trying to impugn someone else's ability of moderating but the current system seems a little ineffective. Also I'd like to apologize if my language/wording seems abrasive towards the moderation team as this is no way an insult to their work but rather a lack of implementation of better systems by management. I'd also like to draw attention towards the actual bug+patch report #63831, it's been close to two days now and such a small change could easily be merged into HEAD. But the bug does seem low priority (even though breaking) to me as well so I would not question the maintainers' decision to prioritize critical bugs over this. I wish you a good day/night and, again would like to apoligise for any rude language.

Usually I decide to discard, which means "no response", yes. The Help describes the options as --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Reject -- Reject the message, sending a rejection notice to the sender, and discarding the original message. For membership requests, reject the change in membership status. In either case, you should add a reason for the rejection in the accompanying text box. Discard -- Throw away the original message, without sending a rejection notice. For membership requests, this simply discards the request without notice to the person making the request.
