Public bug reported: The changes made in the following commit, which backported a number of changes to the procps package in precise, result in various procps utilities crashing with a SIGSEGV if the file2str function in proc/readproc.c reads zero bytes.
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/procps /precise-updates/revision/61 This corresponds to the following procps package version: 1:3.2.8-11ubuntu6.1 Prior to this changeset, file2str would return -1 if the read failed; now it does not, which is not expected by other parts of the procps codebase, hence the crash. Upstream have fixed this issue in the following commit: https://www.gitorious.org/procps/procps/commit/526bc5dfa924177e68be0123bd67e3370955f924 ** Affects: procps (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1242746 Title: SIGSEGV when file2str reads zero bytes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/1242746/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
