[Bug 1961954] Re: unstr (package fortune-mod) incorrectly reads data file
** Description changed:
- Hot to reproduce :
+ How to reproduce :
$ strfile fort
"fort.dat" created
There were 36 strings
Longest string: 201 bytes
Shortest string: 25 bytes
$ ls -l fort*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 br br 3383 Feb 23 10:31 fort
-rw-rw-r-- 1 br br 172 Feb 23 10:31 fort.dat
$ unstr fort
Input file: fort
unstr: data file corrupted
The bug is line 234 of unstr.c (source file:
https://sources.debian.org/src/fortune-mod/1%3A1.99.1-7/util/unstr.c/).
The current checked_fread() macro compares fread() return value with the
number of bytes to read :
#define checked_fread(item, size) \
- if (fread(item, size, 1, Dataf) != size) \
- {\
- fprintf(stderr, "unstr: data file corrupted\n"); \
- exit(1); \
- }
+ if (fread(item, size, 1, Dataf) != size) \
+ {\
+ fprintf(stderr, "unstr: data file corrupted\n"); \
+ exit(1); \
+ }
It should instead compare fread() return value with the number of items to
read, which is 1 :
#define checked_fread(item, size) \
- if (fread(item, size, 1, Dataf) != 1) \
- {\
- fprintf(stderr, "unstr: data file corrupted\n"); \
- exit(1); \
- }
+ if (fread(item, size, 1, Dataf) != 1) \
+ {\
+ fprintf(stderr, "unstr: data file corrupted\n"); \
+ exit(1); \
+ }
After changing the code, running the same commands give :
$ strfile fort
"fort.dat" created
There were 36 strings
Longest string: 201 bytes
Shortest string: 25 bytes
$ ls -l fort*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 br br 3383 Feb 23 10:31 fort
-rw-rw-r-- 1 br br 172 Feb 23 10:38 fort.dat
$ ./unstr fort

Public bug reported: In screensaver preferences, Lock Screen tab: For the "Lock Screen after the screensaver is active for" field, if we change the value with the "+/-" buttons, everything is fine.

[Bug 1289977] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 Update breaks grub, resulting in error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found
@psusi. You can add +1 to people having this issue. Don't say 1 million people have no problem, if you don't speak about 14.04. Also, the 89 number is from prople who were able to boot. My system is fresh 13.04, upgraded to 13.10, and 14.04. I did not touch grub, and I was lucky enough to have a second computer (Apple) where I could burn a boot-repair. What about others who just cannot, such as your mom? Silent, so no issue reported? And no, I don't have dual boot. And yes I have 2 hard drives, but never booted from the second one. This is a serious bug, really. My computer would have been stoned without the Mac to help. Another distro could be better, of course, if change management (especially testing) is correctly done. I would add: Also, once again, it can't be validated in an automatic way is a nonsence. A booting drive (unique) can be validated. If the script is not sure, asking a question would not hurt. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1289977 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 Update breaks grub, resulting in error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1289977/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
