Hi,

Please have a look at the following bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508432

libnet-pcap-perl allows the pcap_loop function to be interrupted by signal which causes segfault.

In a first time a fix has been added to fwknop since 1.9.10-2

fwknop (1.9.10-2) unstable; urgency=low
   * Added quilt framework along with README.source
   * Added patch to fwknopd in order to bypass #508432.
     Thanks to Martin Ferrari.

By the way, the libnet-pcap-perl module has also been patched to behave the
same way as its previous release.

It has been uploaded in Debian Sid this week.

   [ gregor herrmann ]
   * debian/control: Added: ${misc:Depends} to Depends: field.

   [ Franck Joncourt ]
   * Do not allow the pcap loop function to be interrupted by signals.
     It happens this causes segfault. (Closes: #508432)
       - Documented the usage of quilt through README.source.
       - Added Build-dependency on quilt in d.control
       - Updated d.rules
       - Added safe_signal.patch.
     This patch makes Net::Pcap behave the same way as its previous release.

To fix it, upgrade to libnet-pcap-perl 0.16-2 and/or upgrade to fwknop 1.9.10-2

We still do not know why Net::Pcap crashes :(

Hi,

Any news about this bug on karmic? (I consider it closed in both Debian Sid and testing)

About jaunty, fwknop must be unusable on i386. Is there any chances you upgrade the package?

This version has died long ago; no more supported
