Debdiff in #7 looks good, uploaded for processing by the SRU team. Thanks!
** Description changed: + [Impact] + A bad patch prevents the --random option from working at all. + + This was corrected in Debian, and in newer Ubuntu releases, but has not + been corrected in Trusty. This SRU contains the corrected patch. + + [Test Case] + - Use --random option + - See if MAC changed or if resulted in error message + + [Regression Potential] + Since this code simply doesn't work at all at the moment, the only regression would be for it to crash instead of not printing the error message. + + + Original description: + Hello, macchanger works only when I'm specifying which MAC to use. Using macchanger with --random always return 'It's the same MAC!!'. I think I find out why, there's something in this patch made to improve random MAC generation : http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu- branches/ubuntu/trusty/macchanger/trusty/view/head:/debian/patches/08-fix_random_MAC_choice.patch In mc_mac_random() - 'mac' argument is saved into 'newmac', on the stack (line 40) - the MAC is randomized and every byte of 'mac' is changed (line 48...) - 'mac' is overwritten by 'newmac' value (line 82) Thank you ** Changed in: macchanger (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316278 Title: Cannot change mac with --random To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/macchanger/+bug/1316278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
