Package: dhcp3-server Version: 3.1.3-1 Severity: normal
Occasionally, immediately after one of the failover peers starts up the server will segfault. One thing I have noticed is that each time this happens, the DHCP logs show something like the following: Dec 3 20:39:04 server dhcpd: Wrote 11875 leases to leases file. Dec 3 20:39:04 server dhcpd: failover peer mypeer: I move from communications-interrupted to startup Dec 3 20:39:04 server dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.2.5 from xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (hostname) via eth0: not responding (startup) *** segfault happens here *** Sometimes the state change is from 'normal' to 'startup', but the pattern is always (or seems to be always): - server starts up (finishes writing leases to file) - transitions to 'startup' state - DHCPREQUEST happens but is dropped due to being in the 'startup' state - segfault happens almost immediately after I started out with a stock Debian Lenny installation, running dhcp3-server 3.1.1 when I first noticed this problem, so then I installed the dhcp3-server package from testing (which I am reporting this bug against) and the same problem occurred (segfault with the same characteristics) but the only thing I noticed that was different was the segfault log message: - lenny (3.1.1) - [2452859.456068] dhcpd3[13793]: segfault at 48 ip 4610d4 sp 7fffa2f51380 error 4 in dhcpd3[400000+89000] - lenny with testing dhcp3-server package (3.1.3-1) - [2688893.331140] dhcpd3[2544]: segfault at 841f17 ip 45c2a3 sp 7fff3d432068 error 6 in dhcpd3[400000+88000] The servers' clocks are synced via the same NTP server, and there was no noticeable time difference between the two, which I am led to understand could cause crashes on (at least some) versions of dhcp3-server, so I think that can be ruled out in my case. Let me know if I can provide any more information. The system is (currently) running lenny with only the dhcp3-server packages from testing, but as I stated above, the issue occurred with the stock lenny packages as well.
