[Dovecot] bug uni_utf8_str_is_valid(vname)
Heya,
We are expiriencing issues with dovecot 2.1.1 on Linux with weird filenames in home directory of username. We are using mbox IMAP folders, with no special changes (mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=%h/.mailbox).
Mar 6 13:37:17 machine dovecot: imap(username): Panic: file mail-storage.c: line 628 (mailbox_alloc): assertion failed: (uni_utf8_str_is_valid(vname)) Mar 6 13:37:17 machine dovecot: imap(username): Error: Raw backtrace: /opt/dovecot-2.1.1/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x2ba41cb79450] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.1/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x2ba41cb794a6] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.1/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x2ba41cb78963] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.1/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0x2ba41c87ebd5] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.1/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0x2ba41c88c12c] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.1/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(fs_list_iter_next+0x1b4) [0x2ba41c88c494] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.1/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0x2ba41c885342] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.1/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_list_iter_next+0x234) [0x2ba41c885604] -> dovecot/imap [0x40b2d1] -> dovecot/imap(cmd_list_full+0x520) [0x40c1f0] -> dovecot/imap(cmd_list+0xb) [0x40c3eb] -> dovecot/imap(command_exec+0x37) [0x410427] -> dovecot/imap [0x40f4cd] -> dovecot/imap [0x40f582] -> dovecot/imap(client_handle_input+0x3f) [0x40f6cf] -> dovecot/imap(client_input+0x62) [0x410052] -> /opt/dovecot Mar 6 13:37:17 machine dovecot: imap(username): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 20873 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled)
The bug is reproducible by using home folder structure available from: http://bit.ly/x8pTXS
AFAIK, the problem lies in processing the file list of home folder, which can contain filenames that do not have proper UTF-8 encoding of filenames, which causes dovecot to crash. On the other hand, UTF-8 filenames created on the system by hand (using touch), are not displayed in IMAP LIST command (sample is included in the folder structure; single letter file).

Yes, Dovecot shouldn't crash even if there are non-UTF8 mailboxes. This should fix it by renaming such mailboxes: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/c077ca9bc306

This is a bit trickier problem. The mailbox names are currently stored in filesystem as IMAP's modified-UTF7. So it's not really even currently supposed to work, although it's not very nice that the mailboxes aren't visible either. Maybe I'll do something smart in future for this, like allowing both mUTF-7 and UTF-8 and remembering per-mailbox which formatting it is in.

We tried version 2.1.2, which unfortunately does not fix the issue with weird characters.
Whenever . LIST "" "*" is issued, dovecot crashes: Error: Raw backtrace: /opt/dovecot-2.1.2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x2b54671eb870] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x2b54671eb8c6] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x2b54671ead83] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0x2b5466f2a0e5] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0x2b5466f376cc] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0x2b5466f37846] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(fs_list_iter_init+0x4b1) [0x2b5466f38241] -> /opt/dovecot-2.1.2/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_list_iter_init_multiple+0xec) [0x2b5466f3119c] -> dovecot/imap [0x40bbb6] -> dovecot/imap(cmd_list_full+0x520) [0x40c1f0] -> dovecot/imap(cmd_list+0xb) [0x40c3eb] -> dovecot/imap(command_exec+0x37) [0x410497] -> dovecot/imap [0x40f4ed] -> dovecot/imap [0x40f5a2] -> dovecot/imap(client_handle_input+0x3f) [0x40f6ef] -> dovecot/imap(client_input+0x62) [0x410072] -> /opt
Any clues?

I think we can leave this issue out, since I don't believe the users will be creating folders directly from interactive SSH sessions and rather use IMAP to create folders. So, this use-case is not very likely to occur.
Thank you for your help...

I don't think this is the same Panic as the original one? What is the Panic message now?

It is the same. We will try 2.1.3 today and report the results...
