Description lubos.pavlicek 2016-01-27 17:12:29 UTC

After upgrading to librsync-2.0.0 I always get segfault from burp (backup and restore program):

Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0  0xb74fd438 in rs_search_for_block () from /usr/lib/librsync.so.2

Issue is described on upstream web: https://github.com/librsync/librsync/issues/50

Patch is available on upstream web: https://github.com/librsync/librsync/pull/59

Burp is working after applying this patch to net-libs-librsync-2.0.0.

I expect that similar problems will have other programs that use the library librsync.
