| Problem IT02973 | Status: Closed |
ABEND IN SQLAK_CALLBDRDAINPUT DUE TO MISALIGNED MEMORY ACCESS, LEADING TO SIGBUS SIGNAL | |
| product: | |
DB2 CONNECT / DB2CONNCT / A10 - DB2 | |
| Problem description: | |
A crash with a SIGBUS error in client side code may occur with the following stack : sqlak_callbDrdaInput sqljrGenSqlDta sqljrDrdaArCall sqleuInvokeActivationRoutine sqleuPerformServerActivationCheck sqleUCappConnect CLI_sqlConnect SQLConnect2 The problems happens when DB2 accesses a 2 byte integer in a non-2 byte aligned location. Most platforms will handle this gracefully and perform a byte by byte copy instead in the kernel but in some cases , this signal may be passed to user code and trigger the SIGBUS signal causing a failure in the process. | |
