2016-02-16 13:55:35 Marc Deslauriers 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 [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.
