Hash: SHA1

Package: watchdog
Version: 5.6-2
Justification: breaks the whole system
Severity: critical

I suspect this might be related to bug #518096, which was closed without
identifying the source of the problem.

Line 258 of watchdog.c does not initialize "n", which results in the failure
of getline.  Adding a malloc fixes the problem for me.

<       size_t *n;
>       size_t *n = (size_t *) malloc(sizeof(size_t));
