Package: cryptcat
Version: 20031202-2+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
In order to test sending files with cryptcat, I have run one instance like so:
cryptcat -l -p 11223 > myfile.sent
And then I start another instance on the same machine to send the file to the
first instance:
cat myfile | cryptcat 127.0.0.1 11223
Instantly the first instance of cryptcat crashes. I have run this under a
debugger and it appears there is serious memory corruption occurring.
Specifically,
when a C++ method is run, it's own "this" variable appears to be corrupt. In
any
case, I don't have time to debug it now, but perhaps someone else knows of an
easy
fix. I get the same behavior on two separate machines, one a 32-bit AMD
system,
and another which is a 32 bit Intel-based Mac.
Notably, this crash doesn't occur for me if I run the second cryptcat instance
like:
echo test | cryptcat 127.0.0.1 11223
This indicates to me that an overflow of some kind could be occurring. Be sure
to test using large files to trigger it.
