Package: xchat Version: 2.6.8-0.2 Severity: normal Tags: security On an amd64 machine, the following command (or any other that generates a big one-line output) gives an X error that makes XChat abort:
/py exec range(1,1000) The program 'xchat' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. (Details: serial 36821 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) If the same happens when the server sends _us_ a big message (which I was unable to trick irc.debian.org to do), then this is a remote DOS problem. It is not reproducible on a i386 machine. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-amd64 Locale: LANG=fr_LU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_LU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xchat depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.12.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.4-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 0.94-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.71-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfontconfig1 2.4.1-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-5 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.20-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.14.7-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libperl5.8 5.8.8-6.1 Shared Perl library ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-7 PNG library - runtime ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8c-3 SSL shared libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1.1.7-4 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.1-4 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4.1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.1.0.2-4 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.1-3 X Rendering Extension client libra ii python2.4 2.4.4-1 An interactive high-level object-o ii tcl8.4 8.4.12-1.1 Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8 ii xchat-common 2.6.8-0.2 Common files for X-Chat ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime xchat recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
