Public bug reported: [Impact] The kill binary will segfault when called w/ a single, negative PID. This breaks a use case where you maybe sending the default signal (SIGTERM) to all processes (-1) or all processes in a process group (-<PGID). This is regression introduced via an SRU to fix LP: #1637026.
[Test Case] $ /bin/kill -9 Segmentation fault (core dumped) [Regression Risk] This fix will now make our optparsing almost identical to current yakkety, for which I see no obvious regressions filed. ** Affects: procps (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: dann frazier (dannf) Status: Fix Released ** Affects: procps (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: High Assignee: dann frazier (dannf) Status: In Progress ** Also affects: procps (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => dann frazier (dannf) ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of नेपाली भाषा समायोजकहरुको समूह, which is subscribed to Xenial.
