Package: cpio Version: 2.12+dfsg-2 Followup-For: Bug #851632 Dear Maintainer,
I'm just confirming that this still occurs with the version in experimental. Also, it appears to be completely unrelated to whether the tarball contains "." - I've tested several variations. Also, here's a minimal reproducer that proves that cpio can't even handle its own output: $ touch empty-file; echo empty-file | cpio --format=tar --create | cpio --format=tar --list; rm empty-file 3 blocks *** Error in `cpio': realloc(): invalid pointer: 0x0000557b4ec97440 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x70bcb)[0x7fc3fc793bcb] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x76f96)[0x7fc3fc799f96] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(realloc+0x219)[0x7fc3fc79e5f9] cpio(+0x19236)[0x557b4ea8c236] cpio(process_copy_in+0x4bd)[0x557b4ea789dd] cpio(+0x3e3d)[0x557b4ea76e3d] /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf1)[0x7fc3fc7432b1] cpio(+0x3eda)[0x557b4ea76eda] ======= Memory map: ======== 557b4ea73000-557b4ea96000 r-xp 00000000 fd:01 36223789 /bin/cpio 557b4ec95000-557b4ec96000 r--p 00022000 fd:01 36223789 /bin/cpio 557b4ec96000-557b4ec98000 rw-p 00023000 fd:01 36223789 /bin/cpio 557b501d8000-557b501f9000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] 7fc3f8000000-7fc3f8021000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fc3f8021000-7fc3fc000000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 7fc3fc463000-7fc3fc479000 r-xp 00000000 fd:01 14942495 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 7fc3fc479000-7fc3fc678000 ---p 00016000 fd:01 14942495 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 7fc3fc678000-7fc3fc679000 r--p 00015000 fd:01 14942495 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 7fc3fc679000-7fc3fc67a000 rw-p 00016000 fd:01 14942495 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 7fc3fc6cb000-7fc3fc71c000 r--p 00000000 fd:01 38939709 /usr/lib/locale/aa_DJ.utf8/LC_CTYPE 7fc3fc723000-7fc3fc8b8000 r-xp 00000000 fd:01 14960680 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.24.so 7fc3fc8b8000-7fc3fcab7000 ---p 00195000 fd:01 14960680 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.24.so 7fc3fcab7000-7fc3fcabb000 r--p 00194000 fd:01 14960680 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.24.so 7fc3fcabb000-7fc3fcabd000 rw-p 00198000 fd:01 14960680 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.24.so 7fc3fcabd000-7fc3fcac1000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fc3fcac3000-7fc3fcae6000 r-xp 00000000 fd:01 14942230 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.24.so 7fc3fcb13000-7fc3fcb14000 r--p 00000000 fd:01 38971026 /usr/lib/locale/aa_ET/LC_NUMERIC 7fc3fcb1b000-7fc3fcb1c000 r--p 00000000 fd:01 38990878 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_TIME 7fc3fcb23000-7fc3fcc96000 r--p 00000000 fd:01 38861996 /usr/lib/locale/C.UTF-8/LC_COLLATE 7fc3fcc9b000-7fc3fcc9c000 r--p 00000000 fd:01 38987338 /usr/lib/locale/chr_US/LC_MONETARY 7fc3fcca3000-7fc3fcca4000 r--p 00000000 fd:01 38990719 /usr/lib/locale/en_AG/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES 7fc3fccab000-7fc3fccac000 r--p 00000000 fd:01 38987340 /usr/lib/locale/chr_US/LC_PAPER 7fc3fccb3000-7fc3fccb4000 r--p 00000000 fd:01 38987339 /usr/lib/locale/chr_US/LC_NAME 7fc3fccbb000-7fc3fccbc000 r--p 00000000 fd:01 38990876 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_ADDRESS 7fc3fccc3000-7fc3fccc4000 r--p 00000000 fd:01 38987341 /usr/lib/locale/chr_US/LC_TELEPHONE 7fc3fcccb000-7fc3fcccc000 r--p 00000000 fd:01 38987336 /usr/lib/locale/chr_US/LC_MEASUREMENT 7fc3fccd3000-7fc3fccda000 r--s 00000000 fd:01 38878119 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gconv/gconv-modules.cache 7fc3fccdb000-7fc3fccdc000 r--p 00000000 fd:01 38990877 /usr/lib/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_IDENTIFICATION 7fc3fcce0000-7fc3fcce6000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fc3fcce6000-7fc3fcce7000 r--p 00023000 fd:01 14942230 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.24.so 7fc3fcce7000-7fc3fcce8000 rw-p 00024000 fd:01 14942230 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.24.so 7fc3fcce8000-7fc3fcce9000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7ffc0414d000-7ffc0416e000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] 7ffc041f3000-7ffc041f5000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 [vvar] 7ffc041f5000-7ffc041f7000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] [1] 3725 done echo empty-file | 3726 done cpio --format=tar --create | 3727 abort (core dumped) cpio --format=tar --list -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unreleased'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, x32, arm64 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages cpio depends on: ii libc6 2.24-9 cpio recommends no packages.
