I'm now debugging a problem where Subversion (the Subclipse Eclipse Subversion extension) gets a PROPFILE request failed on '/' because the Appache httpd server crashes in the mod_auth_kerb authentication.

Relevant versions are : Apache 2.0.54, Heimdal 0.8.1, a hacked mod_auth_kerb 5.3, eclipse 3.2.2 and Subversion JavaHL Win32 Binaries 1.2.0 for the Eclipse plugin.

A core dump examination shows that the Heimdal GSSAPI library crashes in _gss_spnego_display_name (spnego/context_stubs.c:313) because input_name is NULL, and it tries to do a name->mech and gets a segmentation fault.

Looking at the input_name that is passed to gss_display_name gives:

(gdb) print *((struct _gss_name *) input_name)
$8 = {gn_type = {length = 0, elements = 0x84a8a00}, gn_value = {
length = 139102728, value = 0x0}, gn_mn = {slh_first = 0x75}}

This name is passed from from mod_auth_kerb, authenticate_user_gss:
major_status = gss_display_name(&minor_status, client_name, &output_token, NULL);

It in turn came from gss_accept_sec_context.

Debugging (gdb /usr/sbin/httpd, run -X), break in gss_accept_sec_context:
*src_name = GSS_C_NO_NAME

I'm tracing through to see where it gets set. Currently in:
_gss_spnego_accept_sec_context
In spnego/accept_sec_context.c:1025, *src_name is set to GSS_C_NO_NAME=NULL.
Line 1041, acceptor_start called.
gss_decapsulate_token - looks like len == 0 in gdb, but doesn't return

Trace:

acceptor_start (spnego/accept_sec_context:578) calls gss_decapsulate_token
gss_decapsulate_token (mech/gss_decapsulate_token.c:50) calls der_get_oid


Weird: second parameter to gss_decapsulate_token in spnego/accept_sec_context:578 is GSS_SPNEGO_MECHANISM, which is paramter oid. Has length 6. Returns a heim_oid with:
length=7, components[] = {1, 3, 6, 1, 5, 5, 2}, size=6

gss_decapsulate_token, line 54 calls decode_GSSAPIContextToken.
Then goes into the if (der_heim_oid_cmp(&ct.thisMech, &o) == 0)

Back in acceptor_start, calls der_match_tag_and_length, then decode_NegTokenInit.
Line 628 calls select_mech.

Goes into the "Translate broken MS Kerberos OID"? Does ret = gss_duplicate_oid(minor_status, &_gss_spnego_mskrb_mechanism_oid_desc, mech_p)? or gss_duplicate_oid(minor_status, &mech->gm_mech_oid, mech_p);?
select_mech returns 0.

Think mech_cred is set to acceptor_cred->negotiated_cred_id, but unsure.
acceptor_start calls gss_accept_sec_context (recursively).
Line 222 calls m->gm_accept_sec_context (=_gsskrb5_accept_sec_context), returns major_status 851968. Calls _gss_mg_error. Calls m->gm_display_status (=_gsskrb5_display_status).

Line 196, buf=" Miscellaneous failure (see text)"
"Decrypt integrity check failed"

Line 713: sets preferred_mech_type despite all failed?

Returns ret(1) on line 772.

Back at first gss_accept_sec_context, line 233.
