Heap-buffer-overflow in MPI_Init

[asd__asdqwe]

Hello,

I'm compiling this example:

#include <mpi.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    MPI_Init(NULL, NULL);
    MPI_Finalize();
}

And I get the following memory error. Is this a false positive? Could this be fixed if not?

$  mpicxx -show && mpicxx hello.cpp -fsanitize=address && mpirun -np 1 ./a.out

For reference, here is what I get with MPICH:

$ mpicxx.mpich hello.cpp -fsanitize=address && mpirun.mpich -np 1 ./a.out && echo $?
0

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

Thank you for the message.

Can you try with debug libraries?

For using debug you need to source

<installdir>/intel64em64t/bin/mpivars.sh debug_mt

Thank you.

We have some reports about potential memory leak in MPI_Init. Our investigations indicated that they are false positive.

I've submit the ticket against this issue to the development team, and let you know results.

Alright, thank you for your help. Please keep me posted. Thank you.

[Dmitry_S_Intel]

Hi,

The development team investigated this issue and confirmed that it is already reported false-positive.

Thank you for your investigations.
