             Summary: app_confbridge: Channel can join wrong bridge
                 Key: ASTERISK-30081
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-30081
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: None
          Components: Applications/app_confbridge
    Affects Versions: 18.9.0
            Reporter: N A
            Severity: Major


This doesn't happen all the time, but it happens often enough. The actual timing seems to be random - possible race condition.

Two channels are supposed to get into the same ConfBridge, but they each end up by themselves, obviously not bridged together.

core show channels shows them both executing the ConfBridge application on the same ConfBridge, but only one channel is in the bridge according to confbridge list and confbridge show.

A backtrace confirms the other channel has somehow entered a *different* bridge by itself.

On occasion, channels joining the same ConfBridge at nearly the same time appear to get into different bridges as opposed to the same bridge, even though they have been requested to go into the same ConfBridge.

A backtrace confirms that for channels with the same confbridge name, confbridge->bridge is different for them here (they should be the same):

I am marking this "major" since such a race condition can completely break the usage of ConfBridge, and suggests that perhaps the locking here is insufficient: https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/blob/master/apps/app_confbridge.c#L1736

CLI trace showing bizarre confbridge/bridge/channel disonnance:
