Public bug reported:
When a DcmFileFormat is copied in a thread, there is a possible race
condition that may lead to SIGSEGV because of a null pointer
dereference.
A test case is attached. It creates an empty DcmFileFormat, then spawns
12 threads that will copy the DcmFileFormat 1000 times. In my
experiments, in about 75% of the runs, it crashes with a segmentation
fault with the following stack trace:
-----8<-----
* thread #4: tid = 21848, 0x00007f7275242b33
libdcmdata.so.2`DcmSequenceOfItems::DcmSequenceOfItems(DcmSequenceOfItems
const&) + 131, name = 'testcase', stop reason = invalid address (fault address:
0x0)
* frame #0: 0x00007f7275242b33

const&) + 131

libdcmdata.so.2`DcmFileFormat::DcmFileFormat(DcmFileFormat const&) + 17
frame #2: 0x00000000004014bd

frame #3: 0x00000000004018c2
testcase`_M_invoke(__functor=0x0000000002157a20) + 32 at functional:2071
----->8------
The test case contains a commented out line that will lock a mutex
before performing the copy; if this line is uncommented, no crashes are
seen, confirming suspicions of a race condition.
I compile the test case using the following command:
g++ -o testcase testcase.cpp -g -Wall -std=c++11 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-ldcmdata
I'm reporting this here because I use the Ubuntu repository version of
the package. If you want me to, I can report this upstream as well,
after verifying that the problem is not caused by Ubuntu/Debian-specific
patches.
