Package: checkinstall Version: 1.6.2-4 Severity: grave Tags: patch upstream Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, in installwatch.c, _xstat64() is missing check for initialization As a consequence of this, if `__xstat64()` is the first function called from the library, then no initalization is performed and the program segfaults when trying to call `true_xstat64()` which is uninitialized This causes a segmentation fault on Debian Stretch when invoking e.g.: `checkinstall cmake -P cmake_install.cmake` I filed the bug upstream: https://bugtrack.izto.org:4442/show_bug.cgi?id=171 Patch: diff --git a/installwatch/installwatch.c b/installwatch/installwatch.c index 8e6c616..51493b1 100644 --- a/installwatch/installwatch.c +++ b/installwatch/installwatch.c @@ -3746,6 +3746,9 @@ int __xstat64(int version,const char *pathname,struct stat64 *info) { instw_t instw; int status; + if (!libc_handle) + initialize(); + #if DEBUG debug(2,"stat64(%s,%p)\n",pathname,info); #endif -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: armhf (armv7l) Kernel: Linux 4.4.87-ti-xenomai-r121 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages checkinstall depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.18.24 ii file 1:5.30-1 ii libc6 2.24-11 Versions of packages checkinstall recommends: ii make 4.1-9.1 Versions of packages checkinstall suggests: ii gettext 0.19.8.1-2 -- no debconf information
