Package: ircii Version: 20051015-1 Severity: normal Doing /set -irc_encoding command makes ircii segfault. Also set -display_encoding and set -input_encoding nukes.
I built a unstripped deb package and used the binary with gdb: /set -irc_encoding Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0fe5bad4 in strlen () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (gdb) bt #0 0x0fe5bad4 in strlen () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #1 0x0fe006f0 in iconv_open () from /lib/tls/libc.so.6 #2 0x10046c74 in set_irc_encoding () #3 0x1004784c in set_var_value () #4 0x10047c3c in set_variable () #5 0x100153f4 in parse_command () #6 0x1001610c in parse_line () #7 0x100162a8 in send_line () #8 0x10014b18 in edit_char () #9 0x100270d4 in irc_io () #10 0x10027c64 in main () (gdb) The bug is in source/translat.c functions set_irc_encoding, set_display_encoding and set_input_encoding. These functions pass the NULL 'enc' to iconv_open() that in turn passes the given pointer to strlen() -> boom. Fix is simple, add check for NULL string pointer before passing the argument to iconv_open. Corresponding else-statement should probably NULL the matching _encoding variable (so user can really disable the encoding). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13-pegasos Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages ircii depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ircii recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
