passing char buffer length at SQLExec time

Package: odbc-postgresql
Version: 1:08.01.0200-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hello,

thanks for maintaining odbc-postgresql.

In my package dballe (apt-get source dballe) I optimize some frequent
query by preparing the ODBC statement for them and binding the input
parameters, so that when I need the results I can just set some of the
bound variables and call SQLExecute.

This is an example of such variable bind code:

    SQLBindParameter(res->istm, 3, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_CHAR,
 SQL_CHAR, 0, 0, &(res->value), 0, &(res->value_ind));

Note that I'm passing a pointer to the variable that will hold the
string length as the last parameter, instead of using SQL_NTS.

Now, this call eventually ends up in this code, found at bind.c:118:

    /* Data at exec macro only valid for C char/binary data */
    if (pcbValue && (*pcbValue == SQL_DATA_AT_EXEC ||
                                     *pcbValue <=
 SQL_LEN_DATA_AT_EXEC_OFFSET)) apdopts->parameters[ipar].data_at_exec =
 TRUE;
    else
        apdopts->parameters[ipar].data_at_exec = FALSE;

This code tries to dereferenciate the (still uninitialised) pointer I
pass it ( that &(res->value_ind) ) and fails.  The test should be like
this instead:

    /* Data at exec macro only valid for C char/binary data */
    if (pcbValue && (pcbValue == SQL_DATA_AT_EXEC ||
                                     pcbValue <=
 SQL_LEN_DATA_AT_EXEC_OFFSET)) apdopts->parameters[ipar].data_at_exec =
 TRUE;
    else
        apdopts->parameters[ipar].data_at_exec = FALSE;

ODBC has this dirty habit of passing negative integers as special
 values for pointers, and SQL_DATA_AT_EXEC is one of those:

from /usr/include/sql.h:29:

#define SQL_NULL_DATA             (-1)
#define SQL_DATA_AT_EXEC          (-2)

same goes for the handling of SQL_LEN_DATA_AT_EXEC_OFFSET.

I regret I can't test the patch with code that uses SQL_DATA_AT_EXEC,
because that is an ODBC feature that I do not use.  However, with the
patch my SQLBindParameter above works fine.


Ciao,

Enrico

Enrico is right at the point that the evaluation of *pcbValue here is
dangerous and has no meaning. So in my version I already invalidated
the code(#ifdef NOT_USED). Unfortunately his patch seems to have no
meaning.

The current 8.2.xxxx version which is basically different from the
8.1.xxxx version.
