Bug ID: 25903
Summary: Sending a SIP patron information request with a
summary field flag in indexes 6-9 will crash server
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5 - low
Component: SIP2
Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org
Reporter: k...@bywatersolutions.com

CC: colin.campb...@ptfs-europe.com
The 'summary' field in the patron information request specifies if detail
information should be send for holds, overdues, fines, etc. The field is 10
characters in length (0-9). However, the SIP2 spec only defines indexes 0
though 5, leave 6 though 9 undefined. Some ILSs specify behavior for these
undefined indexes. Apparently the 7th field is often used to request 'Fees', as
opposed to 'Fines' in some ILS. Some software that integrate via SIP try both
the 5th and 7th indexes to ensure they get all fines and fees.
The problem is that Koha's SIP server crashes if any 'summary' index beyond 5
is flagged. We should simply ignore flags beyond 5 and act as if no flags were
sent.
