| 0000004 | Timekoin Server | General Issue | public | 2012-06-19 21:33 | 2012-06-20 16:23 |

| Summary | 0000004: Malformed Attributes in Transactions can stall a Block check or repair | ||||
| Description | If a new (or shutdown) Timekoin server is coming online and needs to catch up with the network peers, a malformed attribute is not filtered properly. This causes Timekoin to hang with an error message that there is "too much peer conflict" many times in the logs (more than normal) | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Any server that is trying to sync up with it's peers that either gets a corrupt response or a malformed response on purpose, becomes stored in the database as "H-" or "G-" for example instead of "H" or "G". | ||||
| Additional Information | This relates to the transaction clerk module that is responsible for keeping transaction records up to date. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
|
|
A missing "?" in the string check was letting more than a single character bleed through. So instead of an Attribute being tagged as "T" transaction for example, it would be tagged as "T-" which when it works it way through transaction verification process fails because Timekoin thinks this is a bogus transaction ( T != T- basically) and should be ignored/deleted. The next version will also apply a fix to the database to remove any corrupt attributes the next time Timekoin is started. This will insure that even after the new fix is applied, old, malformed attributes don't remain in the database. |
