Bug 525822 – net-dialup/ppp-2.4.7 USE=dhcp segmentation fault in ? at ?

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alex Glazunov 2014-10-18 23:14:15 UTC]

I have PPTP server running net-dialup/pptpd-1.4.0 with net-dialup/ppp-2.4.5-r3
My configuration:

/etc/pptpd.conf:
listen <IP>
option /etc/ppp/options.pptpd
logwtmp
delegate

/etc/ppp/options.pptp:
lock
auth
refuse-pap
refuse-eap
refuse-chap
refuse-mschap
require-mschap-v2
require-mppe-128
name office
proxyarp
mtu 1400
mru 1400

netmask 255.255.254.0
ms-dns <first-dns-ip>
ms-dns <second-dns-ip>

plugin dhcpc.so
dhcp-interface net0
dhcp-server <dhcp-server-ip>
<server-ip>:

After upgrade to net-dialup/ppp-2.4.7 PPTP does not work:

dmesg:
pppd[2955]: segfault at 7f9924000000 ip 00007f9928519884 sp 00007fffd3889f88 error 4 in libc-2.19.so[7f9928497000+19e000]

Disabling dhcp plugin solves the problem as well as downgrade to previous ppp version: net-dialup/ppp-2.4.6-r3

This is complete PPTP session log:

1) Please post your `emerge --info net-dialup/ppp' output in a comment.
2) Please attach the gdb backtrace output of pppd segfaulting.

Unfortunately I can't do backtraces on a production server.

[Comment 4 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2014-10-19 19:34:28 UTC]

Then you should learn what a "staging server" is I guess. Please reopen this bug report when you do have a proper backtrace.

[Comment 5 Alex Glazunov 2014-10-20 11:08:03 UTC]

It seems I should learn C++ too...
