Package: snoopy
Version: 1.3-12
Severity: normal
Snoopy is not usable on an amd64 system. Having it in ld.so.preload
causes execv to segfault with every invcation.
After some debugging, I've determined that the problem happens when
trying to use the pointer returned from the "getLogin" function which
is passed to syslog around line 100 of snoopy.c.
Sometimes getLogin returns NULL, but even when it doesn't return NULL
it returns a pointer to memory I cannot access.
Because of this, I'd say this is most likely a bug in glibc or the
kernel, not snoopy.
A possible workaround would be to use getenv( "LOGNAME" ) instead.
This is certainly not ideal, especially since the LOGNAME env
variable obviously could be changed by the user, but at least we still
get the uid in the log, regardless of the accuracy of the login name.
In light of this bug, I think snoopy should be removed from amd64 for
etch (unless we can get a workable solution into etch).
thanks,
stew
