[Bug 156383] Re: glipper not starting in 7.10 64-bit (segmentation fault)
The version of Glipper in Hardy is complete rewrite of the whole application, now it's a GNOME panel applet written in python. This bug report is being closed as it is no longer relevant to the current code. ** Changed in: glipper (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- glipper not starting in 7.10 64-bit (segmentation fault) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156383 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 156383] Re: glipper not starting in 7.10 64-bit (segmentation fault)
Same problem for me, it seems, that glipper has a vulnerability when reading the preferences file. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread 47277995377280 (LWP 792)] 0x2affc00338e9 in memcpy () from /lib/libc.so.6 (gdb) bt #0 0x2affc00338e9 in memcpy () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x2affc001b253 in _IO_getline_info () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0x2affc001a109 in fgets () from /lib/libc.so.6 #3 0x00404e48 in readPreferences () #4 0x00405e91 in main () (gdb) My .glipper has been created under feisty/i386, migrated to gutsy/i386 and finally I'm using it under gutsy/x86_64. This is the content of my prefs file: # hexdump -C ~/.glipper/prefs 14 00 00 00 23 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 |#...| 0010 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 0c 00 00 00 3c 43 74 72 |Ctr| 0020 6c 3e 3c 41 6c 74 3e 63 |lAltc| 0028 ... after removing ~/.glipper/prefs and restarting glipper (this time with no problem), the newly created file looks like: # hexdump -C ~/.glipper/prefs 14 00 00 00 23 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 |#...| 0010 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 0c 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 || 0020 3c 43 74 72 6c 3e 3c 41 6c 74 3e 63 |CtrlAltc| 002c ThIt seems to me, that the String CtrlAltc has been serialized by writing a little-endian string length in an architecture-specific way: i386: 0c 00 00 00 x86_64: 0c 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Obviously, the x86_64 version of glipper crashed when deserializing the prefs file from i386. This is a real nasty upstream bug, preferences files should not be architecture-dependent. text or xml files are very well welcome at this point.
