Summary: zic can generate files which crash the linux kernel Project: GNU Core Utilities Submitted by: None Submitted on: Monday 14/01/08 at 09:18 UTC Category: None Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any _______________________________________________________ Details: Hi there, Don't know if you'll want to fix, but we just had an issue where zic is generating files which cause a kernel panic in tzfile.c on Linux. Apparently the -01:00 is the offending time offset. cheers, Jamie ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) We compiled the following timezone file with zic and put the result in /etc/localtime. This makes tzfile.c fail with assertion that numtypes==1. # /etc/timezone (auto-generated) # Daylight savings time rules # Name YrStart YrEnd Type Month,Day,At,Offset Letter Rule DAYLIGHT 2000 max - Mar lastSun 02:00 01:00 - Rule DAYLIGHT 2000 max - Oct lastSun 03:00 -01:00 - # Timezone description # NAME Offset Rule Name(/DaylightName) Zone localtime 00:00 DAYLIGHT GMT/BST _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?22017> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
