Unfortunately, there is a small bug in the patch for selecting CIC's from the dialplan. In stead of: + strncpy(cics, cic_sep + 1, sep-cic_sep-1); + cics[sep-cic_sep] = '\0'; This should be: + strncpy(cics, cic_sep + 1, sep-cic_sep-1); + cics[sep-cic_sep*-1*] = '\0'; And the following lines: + strncpy(last_cic, cics_sep + 1, strlen(cics) - (cics_sep-cics) - 2); + + first_cic[cics_sep-cics] = '\0'; + last_cic[strlen(cics) - (cics_sep-cics) - 2] = '\0'; Should be + strncpy(last_cic, cics_sep + 1, strlen(cics) - (cics_sep-cics)* - 1*); + + first_cic[cics_sep-cics] = '\0'; + last_cic[strlen(cics) - (cics_sep-cics)* - 1*] = '\0'; When trying this new patch on our ss7 link, I tried to dial a SS7/link1:129/0031xxx number. The first 2 lines place the \0 one byte too far. This probably did not give any problems for the ones who tested the patch, but in my case, the 'undeterimined byte was somehow in the memory a "-". This would the content of the cics = "129-". And this causes the code to try and seperate this into a first_cic and last_cic. With incorrect information the strncpy to the last_cic resulted in a crash with core dump. The extra byte is not a problem, when using a for example: SS7/link1:129-159/00316xxx Because the second fix I mentioned above, normally cuts of the last character. By using fix 1 (to make dialing with a single cic working), fix 2 is also needed, or else, you will have cut off one character too much. The original patch was based on chan_ss7 version 1.2.1. And it's oncluded in the main branche from netfors in version 1.4. So version chan_ss7 1.4 will also have have this bug. I will inform netfors. As a workaround it's also possible to use SS7/link1:129-129/316xxxx. This should not give you any core dumps (I think, didn't test it) With kind regards, Robert Verspuy On 04/15/2010 02:05 PM, Matthias van der Vlies wrote: > Dear all, > > Here in the Netherlands we have a SS7 connection with the biggest local > telco.
