#735 new defect

r.in.wms causes g.parser buffer owerflow

Reported by: marisn Owned by: grass-dev@…
Priority: normal Milestone: 6.5.0

Description

I used r.in.wms to download high resolution topographical maps from local WMS service. Download part went just fine but it resulted into 287 tiles. Then r.in.wms calls r.in.gdalwarp input=/home/maris/grassdata/wms_download/topo_10k_psrs_0.png and so on 287 tile names. Such call results in buffer owerflow in g.parser:

*** buffer overflow detected ***: g.parser terminated

g.parser buffer overflow fix

in reply to:  description comment:1 by glynn, 15 years ago

Replying to marisn:

I used r.in.wms to download high resolution topographical maps from local WMS service. Download part went just fine but it resulted into 287 tiles. Then r.in.wms calls r.in.gdalwarp input=/home/maris/grassdata/wms_download/topo_10k_psrs_0.png and so on 287 tile names. Such call results in buffer owerflow in g.parser:

I can fix the buffer overflow by using G_asprintf(), but some operating systems aren't going to like storing that much data in an environment variable (Linux 2.6 doesn't mind, but a limit of 4K for argv+environ is quite common).

The Python scripting library in GRASS 7 has g.parser write the information to stdout rather than using environment variables, so this isn't an issue there.

from grass65/scripts/r.in.wms/wms.request:

  g.message "Requesting ${NUMBER_OF_TILES} tiles."
  if [ "$NUMBER_OF_TILES" -gt 200 ] ; then
     g.message -w "Proceed with care. This number of tiles may exceed \
       the maximum command line argument length available from your \
       operating system and cause an error later on in the r.in.gdalwarp \
       step. In addition it may be considered abusive behavior by the \
       server provider - check their terms of use."

one trick is try to make the tiles bigger with the maxcols, maxcols so you need to get fewer tiles. Note many servers will restrict this size.

from grass65/scripts/r.in.wms/wms.request:

  g.message "Requesting ${NUMBER_OF_TILES} tiles."

g.message is a bad choice, as on fast machine with fast WMS server it too soon gets burried in >200 tile downloading messages.

Glynn: no idea. It's too hardcore for me. Still IMHO buffer owerflow isn't the right way how to deal with error conditions.

It would be nice if r.in.wms could calculate resulting arg length and fail if it exceeds systems capabilities (theoretical limits).
