Package: coreutils Version: 8.21-1 Severity: normal Hi,
when ln is run with --relative --symbolic and and empty string as the target, it ungracefully dies with a segmentation fault. The memory violation appears to happen in src/relpath.c:38 when the two input paths are checked for leading slashes: if ((path1[1] == '/') != (path2[1] == '/')) How to reproduce: [1] Open a terminal [2] run: ln -sr '' foobar Result: segmentation fault ln -sr '' foobar Expected result: Some kind of error message Trace: #0 0x0000000000403370 in path_common_prefix (path1=0x611030 "/root", path2=0x0) at src/relpath.c:38 #1 0x00000000004034fe in relpath (can_fname=0x0, can_reldir=0x611030 "/root", buf=0x611050 "", len=4096) at src/relpath.c:93 #2 0x0000000000402003 in convert_abs_rel (from=0x7fffffffe3df "", target=0x7fffffffe3e0 "foobar") at src/ln.c:144 #3 0x00000000004025ca in do_link (source=0x7fffffffe3df "", dest=0x7fffffffe3e0 "foobar") at src/ln.c:284 #4 0x000000000040331c in main (argc=4, argv=0x7fffffffe108) at src/ln.c:631 cheers, erik -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.12-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.52-1 ii libattr1 1:2.4.47-1 ii libc6 2.17-97 ii libselinux1 2.2.2-1 coreutils recommends no packages. coreutils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
