Looks like podman is accepting any int, casting to ulong, and passing it along:

# podman run -d --name foo alpine sleep 60

------
# [ expected something more like ]:
Error: Invalid signal: -1 (or 999)

Would it make sense to validate against SIGRTMAX before accepting it?

And, for the sake of discussion, I feel it might be a nice courtesy to accept a signed int and run abs() on it. Those of us with fingers trained to type kill -N would appreciate it.

Oh, also, kill -s 0 throws an error (invalid signal). This is what docker does, so we might need to keep it for compatibility, but it could also be nice to replicate standard kill -0 behavior (exit 0 if container exists).

I like to get a fix on all of these.

Anyone out there looking for a quick git project should grab this.

edsantiago added a commit to edsantiago/libpod that referenced this issue Dec 26, 2019
The helper function we use for signal name mapping does not
check for negative numbers nor invalid (too-high) ones. This
can yield unexpected error messages:

   # podman kill -s -1 foo
   ERRO[0000] unknown signal "18446744073709551615"

This PR introduces a small wrapper for it that:

  1) Strips off a leading dash, allowing '-1' or '-HUP'
     as valid inputs; and
  2) Rejects numbers <1 or >64 (SIGRTMAX)

Also adds a test suite checking signal handling as well as
ensuring that invalid signals are rejected by the command line.

Fixes: containers#4746
