Package: mergelog Version: 4.5.1-7 Severity: normal mergelog fails when processing log file entries like this one:
::1 - - [27/Jul/2009:16:40:20 +0200] "GET /mod_status?auto HTTP/1.1" 200 441 "-" "collectd/4.4.2" According to the macro SCAN_OFFSET defined in src/mergelog.c in line 35, the first 9 characters are stripped from each log file entry. In the line above, this will result in the line 27/Jul/2009:16:40:20 +0200] "GET /mod_status?auto HTTP/1.1" 200 441 "-" "collectd/4.4.2" Hence, on line 406 memchr() doesn't find the character "[" and fails. Setting SCAN_OFFSET to 8 instead of 9 fixes this problem. This issue affects both mergelog 4.5.1-7 (stable) and 4.5.1-8 (testing and unstable). -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental'), (1, 'unstable'), (1, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mergelog depends on: ii libc6 2.9-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime mergelog recommends no packages. mergelog suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
