Title:
SDL 1.2 crashes on snappy, breaks scummvm
Status in libsdl1.2 package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in libsdl1.2 source package in Xenial:
New
Bug description:
I was trying to use snapcraft to snap flight-of-the-amazon-queen. To
my dismay I found that scummvm crashes on initialization. Some
debugging in gdb lead me to a bug libsdl1.2 in get_progname(). The
error case, which doens't occur outside snappy confinement cause the
function to return null, leading to a crash when the data is
subsequently used without checks.
I've patched the function to return "unknown" (as it does in other
cases) and tested that this works correctly. The debian/patches file
patch is attached. I would like to SRU this fix into xenial given the
high impact of snappy and the negative effect this bug has for each
application using SDL.
[Test Case]
TBD (snapcraft.yaml with flight-of-the-amazon-queen)
[Regression Potential]
None, this fixes a crash that occurs only on snappy. The code in question is
clearly broken, returning NULL from a function that never returns NULL
otherwise.
