Package: psmisc Version: 22.8-1 Severity: normal
Hi, I ran "pstree --help" and was greeted with a friendly segfault. Turns out this happens for any long option that pstree doesn't recognise. (I'd suggest it ought to recognise --help, but anyway...) I've had a poke around the code, and is seems to me that the options struct (lines 866-882) is not terminated correctly. According to the getopt_long documentation, the array should be terminated "with an element containing all zeros", which pstree doesn't have. So, of course, getopt_long ends up looking into memory that's none of its business.
