Description

This addition may overflow if the Interest lifetime is very large. This is undefined behavior because the two values are signed integers. The overflow may not cause a crash immediately but it will likely trigger an assertion later in Forwarder::setExpiryTimer() because duration is negative.

This bug was found by NFDFuzz, an experimental fuzzer for NFD and ndn-cxx.

Stack trace of the failed assertion:

patchset 1 expands the Table/TestPitEntry/Lifetime test case to reproduce the bug.

In FaceRecord::update function, the obvious fix is to impose a maximum limit of InterestLifetime, so that signed integer overflow is unlikely to occur.
However, I believe this cannot adequately solve the problem.

An incoming Interest could carry a very small InterestLifetime.
If the time elapsed between inserting PIT in-record and invoking Forwarder::setExpiryTimer exceeds the InterestLifetime, the assertion would fail.
Given both occurs in the same function Forwarder::onContentStoreMiss, this would only occur if InterestLifetime is zero.
I think the solution is to ban InterestLifetime=0ms from the encoding layer, since it does not make sense in a distributed network.

Junxiao, I am not following the logic / which assertion would fail. InterestLifetime is relative time and we use setExpiryTimer(0_s,...) all over the place. So, where is the issue?

I would agree that having a too-small interest lifetime is wrong, but I don't quite know what kind of minimum limit we could set.

setExpiryTimer(0_s,...) is fine, but InterestLifetime=0 is unsafe.

In Forwarder::onContentStoreMiss function:

At timestamp T+0ms, this line executes:
https://gerrit.named-data.net/plugins/gitiles/NFD/+/c78226c4612dceea39b3f1d101dea0cb47168630/daemon/fw/forwarder.cpp#189
It sets inRecord.expiry to T+0ns.

It's only a few lines of code, but it would take non-zero time. On a slow machine with other process running, this could take 1ms.
At timestamp T+1ms, this line executes:
https://gerrit.named-data.net/plugins/gitiles/NFD/+/c78226c4612dceea39b3f1d101dea0cb47168630/daemon/fw/forwarder.cpp#196
It computes the remaining lifetime to be T+0ms - T+1ms = -1ms.

Then it calls Forwarder::setExpiryTimer(pitEntry, -1_ms) that triggers a crash.

Whenever InterestLifetime is zero, lastExpiring->getExpiry() - time::steady_clock::now() would be negative.
The only reason we haven't seen a crash in the wild is that, the duration unit in Forwarder::setExpiryTimer is milliseconds, so that any negative value above -1ms is truncated to 0ms.
However, this is still a logical error.

Junxiao, you're mixing two different bugs. One is the signed addition overflow (undefined behavior) found by the fuzzer. The other one is the "residual" duration becoming negative if the InterestLifetime was very small. The former has nothing to do with the assertion per se, the bug is in the addition itself.

What's the reason for the assertion in setExpiryTimer anyway? Why can't we use std::max(0_ms, duration) instead?

I know the distinction, but both causes will trigger the assertion failure.

Agreed. I'll change accordingly.

Yes, my point was that removing the assertion will not fix the first bug.
