Title:
Apport crash while generating report from a gdb crash
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Apport crash while trying to generate a report from a gdb crash core
dump.
crash occure in function add_gdb_info() of file report.py on the line (around
687):
if '"ERROR:' in self['GLibAssertionMessage']:
The crash happens because GLibAssertionMessage as not been affected as
a key in self[].
It's because apport assume that the cmd invoking gdb : "out =
_command_output(gdb_cmd).decode('UTF-8', errors='replace')"
will work and return correct value.
In my case the gdb invokation seems to give an incomplete result starting
with :
"[New LWP 18326]\nwarning: Can\'t read pathname for load map: Erreur
d\'entr\xe9e/sortie." ending with "No symbol table info available."
therefore parts list is composed of 1 element :
(pdb): len(parts)
1
(Pdb) parts[1]
*** IndexError: list index out of range
I guess a possible correction would be to add a check on the result of
the gdb invocation or on the number of items in parts list line 681.
I could provide a patch but i'm not sure what is the cleanest way to
correct this.
Affected version is apport 2.9.2.
