Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pidgin
When the sametime server responds with a login redirection, this is
handled by session_loginRedirect(). However, it appears the "host"
pointer passed to the function can be null, and the function attempts to
do a strcmp() on it:
if(purple_account_get_bool(account, MW_KEY_FORCE, FALSE) ||
(! strcmp(current_host, host)) ||
(purple_proxy_connect(NULL, account, host, port, connect_cb, pd) == NULL))
{
This cases a segfault.
Still investigating why the calling function isn't getting anything
useful for the host to redirect to.
Present in 1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1
