** Summary changed: - binhex always segfaults + [SRU] binhex always segfaults ** Description changed: + [ Impact ] + + some of the binaries provided by macutils are completely unusable as they will immediately segfault as soon as they are executed. + The impacted binaries are: + binhex + tomac + frommac + + This is because the relevant header file was not included and so as as + result the compiler assumed the functions return an integer. + + [ Test Plan ] + + 1. Install macutils + 2. Execute all the binaries provided by macutils for a basic sanity test + + binhex -H + frommac -H + hexbin -H + macsave -H + macstream -H + macunpack -H + tomac -H + + If the package is not fixed then binhex, tomac and frommac will result in segfault. + + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + There is no change in code, only the relevant header file has been + included. And, so there are minimum chances of a regression. The change + has been part of Debian and also Jammy onwards and there has been no + regression reported. + + [ Other Info ] + + The testplan only does a basic sanity test. Ideally a macutils user + should test and confirm that everything is working as expected. + + [ Original Bug Description ] + Steps to reproduce: binhex -H Expected result: binhex prints help information Actual result: binhex crashes with SIGSEGV Comments: binhex doesn't only crash with the -H flag, it crashes with any flag. It appears to crash in the main() function before any argument handling actually happens. Version is 2.0b3-16build1.
