Package: scrollkeeper
Version: 0.2-6
Severity: normal
While preparing a new doc-linux release, I installed the OMF file at
http://people.debian.org/~cjwatson/broken.omf into
/usr/share/omf/doc-linux-html/HOWTOs.omf and ran scrollkeeper-update. It
appeared to succeed, but it didn't actually appear to have registered
anything with scrollkeeper, so I investigated further. This revealed
that scrollkeeper-install was segfaulting, but scrollkeeper-update
didn't mention this and exited with status 0 anyway.
This OMF file is invalid in various ways, but (a) -install shouldn't
segfault, and (b) -update should check the return status of system() and
so notice if it does.
It appears that the segfault occurs whenever scrollkeeper-install
encounters a document without the required <language code="C"/>, and
similarly for <identifier url="foo"/> and <format mime="foo/bar"/>.
Every time it calls get_doc_property(), it should be careful to check
that it doesn't return NULL.
Here's a transcript:
