I have a program, where I am injecting a fault and I am expecting this to cause a segmentation fault. The problem I am facing is that for a fault such as:
char *str = malloc(sizeof(char)*10);
free(str+1);
I get the following printed in the shell:
*** Error in `./tests': free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000002442574 ***

Now, what I am looking to do is hide this from the display, since I am making a fault injection tool, I am aware of this happening and do not want such an output to ruin the GUI for the user. I have tried to redirect the stderror to file 2) change unlimit to 0 and nothing works.
NOTE:: I am injecting this problem into a code myself, hence please do not suggest to fix the error. My aim is to hide this from printing on the shell.
THanks
Solved for the above example using:
#export MALLOC_CHECK_=0
http://kb.parallels.com/en/4611
Try changing your kernel log level to limit what it prints.
something like:
bash$ echo "0 0 0 0" > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
Great write up here: Change default console loglevel during boot up

I'm getting the familiar free(): invalid pointer error. In trying to debug, I ended up commenting out each free() in my code, one by one, until there were none left and I'm still getting this runtime error. Has anyone else run into a similar issue?
By the way - it's difficult for me to debug this using gdb, because the entire server doesn't actually crash when the error message is printed, just the particular forked process that was handling the single client.
Thank you.

If your code trashes a pointer used by some other code, other code may wind up calling free on an invalid pointer. Likely you are accessing some memory you don't own.
There are many ways this can happen, here are two common ones:
1) If you declare an array like int f[7];, the last array element is f[6]. Modifying f[7] can corrupt someone else's memory.
2) If you save a pointer to an object allocated on the stack, that object goes out of scope, and then you modify something through that pointer, you can corrupt someone else's memory.
Try to use valgrind to debug your issue.
If your error persist even with all free removed, it could be because some code is overflowing its memory zone (e.g. a buffer overflow).
In a complex program, I am encountering a stack smashing error, pasted below. I'm having trouble to find out where it happens. I located the function using printf-debugging, and noticed that the check actually happens during function return (the printf just before the return is executed, the one just after the function call is not).
However, it's a huge function; I've read it all, but didn't notice any stack overflow opportunities in it. I therefore need a better estimate of where the bug is. How can I debug this further?
I think it would be easiest if I could add a debugger watchpoint on the stack smashing detection memory, so it interrupts execution at the time of smashing instead of at function return. If so, how can I know which memory this is?
For those who want to see source, I recommend looking at any of the stack smashing questions here on Stack Overflow. If you really want to see the code I'm using, get the freedink source (the offending function is updateFrame).
Update
On the gcc-patches list, this issue was discussed in 2009. It doesn't seem to have reached a conclusion though. At least I don't see any name come up when I say "info locals" in gdb (as is suggested somewhere in that thread). If someone can tell me how to find this __stack_guard__ (which isn't working, as it was sort-of rejected), that would answer my question.
Next update
Ok, after lots of searching, I found something completely unexpected. As you can see from the stack backtrace, the stack smashing is detected when exiting a libSDL function. Now normally SDL functions work fine, and freedink is full of bugs. So I didn't even think I could have hit a bug in SDL. However, it seems I did. It is trying to play a midi file. If I copy a different midi file to its place, the program works fine.
So my current problem is solved, but my question is still not answered. Although the stack backtrace does point to the function where the stack is smashed (so it is more useful than I thought), it doesn't provide an address for the guard, which may be useful as well (for setting a watchpoint).

Let us know how it goes.
Have you used the exp-sgcheck tool for Valgrind or just the memcheck tool? It sounds like sgcheck may do what you want. From the Valgrind docs:
SGCheck and Memcheck are complementary: their capabilities do not overlap. Memcheck
performs bounds checks and use-after-free checks for heap arrays. It also finds uses of
uninitialised values created by heap or stack allocations. But it does not perform bounds
checking for stack or global arrays.
SGCheck, on the other hand, does do bounds checking for stack or global arrays, but it
doesn't do anything else.
There are some caveats about how exactly exp-sgcheck find potential errors (and it is considered experimental) so read the docs carefully before trying it out.
Edit:
Here's another idea to try. If you break on function entry can you determine an address that will be corrupted by the time the function exits? Perhaps by getting the address of a stack variable or something? If so you could set a gdb watch point on that address. gdb will stop the program whenever this memory location gets modified. This can be pretty annoying if it's an address that's modified often but can, in a pinch, function as a poor man's stack guard. Here's a link to the docs.
You don't have to have a special stack guard, you just need to watch something on the stack which you know will be corrupted. For example, given the following program:
void bar(int j) {
int *addr = (&j) - 20;
for(int i = 0; i <= 1000; i++) {
*(addr + i) = 0xDEADBEEF;
}
}
int main() {
bar(10);
return 0;
}
If you break on entry to bar and set watch j then continue you should get a break when i == 20 inside the loop. If j is supposed to be changed inside the function this is obviously pretty annoying. If you have just an address you can watch that by dereferencing it watch *(int*)0x40051f.
You may want to try Address Sanitizer : http://clang.llvm.org/docs/AddressSanitizer.html
It requires to be able to compile your code with clang, but ASAN is very good at finding stack smashing bugs.
I'm getting the familiar free(): invalid pointer error. In trying to debug, I ended up commenting out each free() in my code, one by one, until there were none left and I'm still getting this runtime error. Has anyone else run into a similar issue?
By the way - it's difficult for me to debug this using gdb, because the entire server doesn't actually crash when the error message is printed, just the particular forked process that was handling the single client.
Thank you.

If your code trashes a pointer used by some other code, other code may wind up calling free on an invalid pointer. Likely you are accessing some memory you don't own.
There are many ways this can happen, here are two common ones:
1) If you declare an array like int f[7];, the last array element is f[6]. Modifying f[7] can corrupt someone else's memory.
2) If you save a pointer to an object allocated on the stack, that object goes out of scope, and then you modify something through that pointer, you can corrupt someone else's memory.
Try to use valgrind to debug your issue.
If your error persist even with all free removed, it could be because some code is overflowing its memory zone (e.g. a buffer overflow).
I have a program that has to use mmf to map a ppm image to memory and then, each child, will have to invert row by row the mmf. It says :"the MMF version will first have to create a copy of the image (and rename it to the destiny filename) and then execute the inversion on that copy." The semaphores are in the correct order too and according to the assignment too.
From this, I've coded and it gives me the correct output but this happens :S. I don't understand why but it's clearly not right:
(...)
Inverting row...
Done ||
Inverting row...
Done ||
Cleaning up...
Closing file pointers.

Here is the code (run as ./invert input_filename.ppm output_filename.ppm) it has to be ppm:
main
functions c file
header file
makefile
You can test it with this for example: ppm image with p6 header
I'm only mapping the file in the master process, before spawn children and make each child invert a row on that mapped file. Is this correct?
Among other things, you are closing your file handles twice. Run your program under valgrind, as Drakosha suggested.
I'm tackling a trivial buffer overflow (yes, exploitation; but unrelated to the problem) I'm trying to figure out the fields in the memory map, when GCC's stack protector is enabled. As an illustration:

So, as you can see; There's the backtrace, and then there's the memory map, with 5 fields, and then an optional sixth one which may include a .so.1 (shared libraries?) I'm asking about what these fields are, and what they mean, like the hex fields, and what rw-p means, etc.
I've gone on google and searched but nothing like this comes up.
Thanks.
Check out the man page for the /proc filesystem, it has all the info you need:
/proc/[number]/maps
A file containing the currently mapped memory regions and their access
permissions.
The format is:

where address is the address space in the process that it occupies, perms
is a set of permissions:
r = read
w = write
x = execute
s = shared
p = private (copy on write)
offset is the offset into the file/whatever, dev is the device
(major:minor), and inode is the inode
on that device. 0 indicates that no
inode is associated with the memory
region, as the case would be with bss.
