Package: initramfs-tools-core
Version: 0.130
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
The following code fragment is in the xcpio() function of
unmkinitramfsunmkinitramfs:
if zcat -t "$archive" >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
zcat "$archive"
elif xzcat -t "$archive" >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
xzcat "$archive"
elif bzip2 -t "$archive" >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
bzip2 -c -d "$archive"
elif lzop -t "$archive" >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
lzop -c -d "$archive"
the -t flag used with zcat does not have the same meaning it had with the other
programs, xzcat, bzip2 and lzop. With the latter it
means "just do a test" with the former it is equivalent to -vT (neither -v nor
-T means "test"). Now, this causes a strange and
unpredictable behavior of unmkinitramfs (and of lsinitramfs, which uses
unmkinitramfs) where for some, not all, initrd files it just aborts its
operations with this
free(): invalid next size (normal)
Aborted
Notice that even when it aborts, the "guilty" initrd file is perfectly fine and
it can uncrompressed with gunzip or with zcat (without the -t, which, again, it
is not the flag for testing the input file).
Solution: remove the -t from "if zcat -t "$archive" >/dev/null 2>&1 ;"
