Bug 330085 – net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.7.2-r2 constant segfault

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2010-07-27 14:51:12 UTC]

wpa-supplicnat has a constant segfault on (apparently) multilib systems.  It happens every 5 minutes or so.  Patch attached that fixes it for me and others.

Empty lists when deleting containers

The problem is that containers for a list are deleted without emptying the lists.  Later, the list elements try to access their containers and crash.

[Comment 2 Ihar Hrachyshka 2010-07-27 15:14:15 UTC]

Have you sent it upstream?

[Comment 3 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2010-07-27 17:22:29 UTC]

Why don't you assign your own bugs?

[Comment 4 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2010-07-27 20:05:24 UTC]

I haven't reported it, no.  I don't need Yet Another Bugzilla Account.  Unfortunately, I don't have my backtraces anymore.  I'll generate a new one.

Here's a backtrace:

I don't maintain wpa_supplicant.  This bug should not be assigned to me.

Jer was speaking of assigning it to the maintainers of wpa_supplicant, not cluttering bugwranglers queue (since you have the power to do so).

[Comment 8 Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) 2010-08-14 10:18:07 UTC]

I have reported it upstream (see the URL for this bug).

Also, I have added the patch and bumped wpa_supplicant to 0.7.2-r3 .

[Comment 9 Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) 2010-08-14 20:29:50 UTC]

Also, this has just been included upstream, so 0.7.3 will be fixed :)
