2012-11-08 15:56:29 Colin Watson description This was originally reported as happening on copying larges in highly-fragmented filesystems, and affects coreutils from 8.11 to 8.19 (8.20 has just been released with the fix included). Ubuntu versions affected: * Precise (8.13) * Quantal (8.13) * Raring (8.13) Upstream bug: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=12656 Uptream ML thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2012-10/msg00090.html Upstream commits: * 64aef5fb9afecc023a6e719da161dbbf450908b8 (actual patch, and test) * 0aeaa506ad9dd09479a298e4febe79b55c10a0e2 (adjust NEWS to point out mv and install are also affected) A test has been added to check for this error: tests/cp/fiemap-FMR.sh ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: coreutils 8.13-3.2ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-18.29-generic 3.5.7 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-18-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 Architecture: amd64 CheckboxSubmission: c8a7d84e13c3b258e707f056604eb0e0 CheckboxSystem: d00f84de8a555815fa1c4660280da308 Date: Wed Oct 31 05:24:37 2012 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-10-21 (9 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: coreutils UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) [Impact] cp/mv/install may read from freed memory in cases of very fragmented and sparse input files, sometimes producing corrupt output. [Test case] The following command should succeed, with no output: rm -f j j2 && perl -e 'for (1..600) { sysseek (*STDOUT, 4096, 1) && syswrite (*STDOUT, "a" x 1024) or die "$!" }' > j && valgrind --quiet --error-exitcode=3 cp j j2 && cmp j j2 [Regression potential] cp being what it is, ordinary use of a system for a while should be sufficient regression-testing. Original report follows: This was originally reported as happening on copying larges in highly-fragmented filesystems, and affects coreutils from 8.11 to 8.19 (8.20 has just been released with the fix included).
