description |
The changes made in the following commit, which backported a number of changes to the procps package in precise, result in various procps utilities crashing with a SIGSEGV if the file2str function in proc/readproc.c reads zero bytes.
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/procps/precise-updates/revision/61
This corresponds to the following procps package version: 1:3.2.8-11ubuntu6.1
Prior to this changeset, file2str would return -1 if the read failed; now it does not, which is not expected by other parts of the procps codebase, hence the crash.
Upstream have fixed this issue in the following commit:
https://www.gitorious.org/procps/procps/commit/526bc5dfa924177e68be0123bd67e3370955f924 |
[Impact]
* various procps utilities crashing with a SIGSEGV if the file2str function in
proc/readproc.c when it reads zero bytes
* This is a regression introduced with (LP: #1150413)
* The upload checks for zero length reads and now returns -1 instead of 0, like it used
to.
[Test Case]
* This does not happen often enough to create a real testcase, but some users have
reported that repeatedly running top has occassionally exhibited this problem.
[Regression Potential]
* Minimal, as this reverts file2str to original behavior in the case of zero length
reads.
[Other Info]
* This patch is backported from upstream
