From 1e5c85555acbfd3211f39a2207513a5580535861 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "lei.chen" Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 06:36:45 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(worker): MPI remote-start path -- union alias UB, taskrun leak, xrun overflow Three fixes from the MPI parallel-job path review, each unit-tested in the launch_type_dispatch suite (5 -> 8 tests): B1 (controller_connector.c): handle_startjob's fan-out-failure path reported xcecd_task_fail(jobid, body.runtaskmsg->clientidx, ...). In the startjob request the body union arm is jobstartmsg, so runtaskmsg->clientidx aliases the same storage as the start_info pointer's high half -- uninitialized garbage passed to the controller. Pass -1 (the honest value; this start has no client-side task index, job_ctx->clientidx is -1 downstream). The same path also fell through to the local start after a failed fan-out; it now returns the error so a job missing its remote legs is not reported healthy. B2 (controller_connector.c): xcecd_job_remote_start leaked the taskhost strings on every remote start -- xcecli_runtask serializes the task synchronously but takes no ownership, so the caller must free. Add owned copies for cmdline/host and free all seven heap copies after the call. Verified clean under ASan with detect_leaks=1. B3 (xrun.c): the mpirun plm_rsh_agent shim built full_command[4096] with unbounded strcat from mpirun-passed argv -- a stack smash on any command line over MAXLINELEN. Bounded append with quoting; overflow is rejected with rc=1 (verified at the exact 4096-byte boundary).
