Subject: Bug#606728: dvbscan: Infinite loop parsing arguments
Date: Sat, 11 Dec 2010, 21:13:08
From: Vincent Pelletier <plr.vinc...@gmail.com>
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <sub...@bugs.debian.org>
Package: dvb-apps
Version: 1.1.1+rev1355-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
How to reproduce:
dvbscan -out raw - some_file
Result:
dvbscan process taking 100% of cpu.
Cause:
Argument parser doesn't increment argument position when
encountering -out parameter, so it loops forever on parsing -out.
