Package: approx
Version: 2.8.0
Severity: important
When I edit the /etc/approx/approx.conf file and define an interface to
listen to, approx fails with a segfault on startup. In my case
I set the interface key to eth0.
This is reported in /var/log/messages:
Jan 29 07:48:22 hades kernel: approx[3814]: segfault at 000000000f533440 rip
00000000004cabf0 rsp 00007fff9b5abdb8 error 4
If I run approx -f from the command line, here is the output:
hades:~# approx -f
Version: approx 2.8.0
Config file: /etc/approx/approx.conf
Interface: eth0
Port: 8124
Cache: /var/cache/approx
Interval: 12 hours
Max wait: 10
Debug: false
Segmentation fault
When I run an strace, it seems to fail right after it reads the
configuration file at the
"# The following are the defaults, so there is no need" line.
This only happens when I uncomment the interface key in the
config. Or if I set it to all, approx -f returns:
hades:~# approx -f
Version: approx 2.8.0
Config file: /etc/approx/approx.conf
Interface: all
Port: 8124
Cache: /var/cache/approx
Interval: 12 hours
Max wait: 10
Debug: false
Not_found
Once the interface key is commented out, it runs perfectly fine.
