Package: powershell Version: 0.9-8 Severity: normal
It seems like any program which constantly rewrites the same lines in the terminal can cause a DoS in powershell, where the terminal is unresponsive until the program is killed by some other means. I seem to be able to reproduce this with dd_rescue /dev/zero /dev/null inside a screen session inside powershell. Moving the mouse around over the terminal will sometimes cause it to get "behind", and it never catches up and is unresponsive until the program printing the output goes away. This is especially inconvenient when many shells are open because the user's entire session is stopped. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i586) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.1 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages powershell depends on: ii gdk-imlib1 1.9.14-16.2 imaging library for use with gtk ( ii libart2 1.4.2-20 The GNOME canvas widget - runtime ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-6 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libdb3 3.2.9-22 Berkeley v3 Database Libraries [ru ii libesd0 0.2.36-1 Enlightened Sound Daemon - Shared ii libglib1.2 1.2.10-10 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome32 1.4.2-20 The GNOME libraries ii libgnomesupport0 1.4.2-20 The GNOME libraries (Support libra ii libgnomeui32 1.4.2-20 The GNOME libraries (User Interfac ii libgtk1.2 1.2.10-17 The GIMP Toolkit set of widgets fo ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System Session Management ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxi6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System Input extension li ii libzvt2 1.4.2-20 The GNOME zvt (zterm) widget ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu powershell recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
