Ian fixed this a while back, but the bug never got closed for some reason. dpkg (1.14.5ubuntu15) gutsy; urgency=low
* Bugfixes to fd cleanup handling: - avoid closing fsys tarfile pipe twice even in normal operation - normally EBADF but might sometimes close some other desired fd and cause hideous doom. (LP: #137191.) - avoid duplicate attempts to [f]close in obscure error situations which might conceiveably close wrong fds - cast &fd to void* when passing to push_cleanup cu_closefd - fix parse.c:parsedb to use ehflag_normaltidy in a sane way - when passing &fd to push_cleanup cu_closefd, make fd always static * Bugfix in trigger deferred file processing: reset lexer start state when calling yyrestart (has no effect except after parsing/reading errors in the deferred file). * Fix some error handling bugs in tarfn.c: - Avoid freeing uninitialised h.[Link]Name (can cause crash if .deb becomes unreadable while we start up). (LP: #138887.) - Use m_malloc instead of malloc (and ditch ad-hoc error handling). -- Ian Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thu, 20 Sep 2007 18:12:20 +0100 ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- Segmentation fault https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
