MAJOR CLUE: The crash only happens on files where the effective permissions are limited by the mask. Using the option --no-effective, getfacl no longer crashes.
Oh, and using a shorter user/group names (still containing "unusual" characters) does not result in a crash. So... It seems that the conditions for triggering this bug is: - getfacl is outputting to an interactive terminal (no pipes or redirects) - long user or group names are present in the ACL - the "#effective:..." string is to be outputted along with a long user/group entry This has been testing on two separate systems using different solutions for Active Directory integration. ** Summary changed: - getfacl: malloc(): memory corruption + Effective permissions and long names - getfacl: malloc(): memory corruption ** Summary changed: - Effective permissions and long names - getfacl: malloc(): memory corruption + Effective permissions and long group names - getfacl: malloc(): memory corruption -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/900304 Title: Effective permissions and long group names - getfacl: malloc(): memory corruption To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acl/+bug/900304/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
