Title:
faad segfaults on amd64 due to incorrect pointer size
Status in faad2 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in faad2 source package in Lucid:
Won't Fix
Status in faad2 package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
When I run faad on amd64 with the command line "faad -b 2 -f 2 -q -w
AAC2AC3Temp.aac" (-b 2 indicating 24 bit output), I get a segmentation
fault in fwrite. The same command on the same data works fine in a 32
bit system.
The problem is due to the write_audio_24bit() function in
frontend/audio.c, which uses a long* pointer (ie which is 8 bytes on
amd64 but only 4 on x86):
static int write_audio_24bit(audio_file *aufile, void *sample_buffer,
unsigned int samples)
{
int ret;
unsigned int i;
long *sample_buffer24 = (long*)sample_buffer;
char *data = malloc(samples*aufile->bits_per_sample*sizeof(char)/8);
Changing the definition of sample_buffer24 to make it an int* fixes
the problem.
The function write_audio_32bit needs a similar change and stops the
segfault happening if you use "-b 3" for 32 bit samples. (There is
also similar code in aacDECdrop/audio.c but I'm not sure where that is
used.)
