Trying to access array offset on value of type bool at apps/files_external/lib/Lib/Storage/SFTP.php #41159

harrykipper · 2024-01-12T20:31:06Z

When uploading, modifying or deleting a file in the SFTP external storage the log is spammed with the message below. This doesn't seem to have user facing consequences, but in a very large installation the logs become huge. The first two errors appear both when using the web interface and a desktop client, the third related to RSAStore.php only seems to be triggered by desktop apps.

We recently updated from 10.3.2 to 10.13.4, and PHP went from 7.2 to 7.4. The issue didn't seem to exist with the old version.

The nextcloud people seem to have solved this by adding a couple of checks to the filetype() function in SFTP.php. I tried it and it seems to work for me, the error is gone. Here’s what they do:

public function filetype($path) {
              try {
                      $stat = $this->getConnection()->stat($this->absPath($path));
                      if (!is_array($stat) || !array_key_exists('type', $stat)) {
                              return false;
                      }
                      if ((int) $stat['type'] === NET_SFTP_TYPE_REGULAR) {
                              return 'file';
                      }
                      if ((int) $stat['type'] === NET_SFTP_TYPE_DIRECTORY) {
                              return 'dir';
                      }
              } catch (\Exception $e) {
              }
              return false;
      }

Steps to reproduce

Set up SFTP storage with the files_external app
Upload some files into the SFTP directory, either via the web interface or a desktop app
The operation completes but the log is spammed with the error

Expected behaviour

No error should be logged

Actual behaviour

The log is spammed with the error above:

If you have access to your command line run e.g.:
sudo -u www-data php occ app:list
from within your ownCloud installation folder.

Are you using encryption: yes/no
NO

Are you using an external user-backend, if yes which one: LDAP/ActiveDirectory/Webdav/...

With access to your command line run e.g.:
sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:show-config

Without access to your command line download the data/owncloud.db to your local
computer or access your SQL server remotely and run the select query:
SELECT * FROM `oc_appconfig` WHERE `appid` = 'user_ldap';


Eventually replace sensitive data as the name/IP-address of your LDAP server or groups.
