Package: unrar Version: 1:5.3.2-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
In short: I automatically sent invalid input to the file-overwrite-prompt, crashing it. What led up to the situation? touch b rar a b.rar b Now I was copy pasting something like the following command (everthing between the quotes) into xfce4-terminal: "unrar x b.rar e12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567 0123456789012345678901234567890 " Note that the clipboard should contain the last newline / linefeed, also the 'e' at the beginning seems to be important, the numbers are not. Now I get the following output: UNRAR 5.30 beta 2 freeware Copyright (c) 1993-2015 Alexander Roshal Extracting from b.rar Would you like to replace the existing file b 0 bytes, modified on 2016-11-05 05:19 with a new one 0 bytes, modified on 2016-11-05 05:19 [Y]es, [N]o, [A]ll, n[E]ver, [R]ename, [Q]uit No files to extract Segmentation fault When increasing the clipboard to the output changes, e.g.: "unrar x b.rar e12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567 012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567 " results in: UNRAR 5.30 beta 2 freeware Copyright (c) 1993-2015 Alexander Roshal Extracting from b.rar Would you like to replace the existing file b 0 bytes, modified on 2016-11-05 05:19 with a new one 0 bytes, modified on 2016-11-05 05:19 [Y]es, [N]o, [A]ll, n[E]ver, [R]ename, [Q]uit No files to extract Fatal error: glibc detected an invalid stdio handle Aborted It seems to me that the additional two lines after the command are being sent to the prompt and effectively fuzzying it. Indeed the problem can be reproduced like this: echo "e12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567 012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567 " | unrar x b.rar -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (950, 'testing'), (54, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages unrar depends on: ii libc6 2.24-5 ii libgcc1 1:6.2.0-10 ii libstdc++6 6.2.0-10 unrar recommends no packages. unrar suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
