I'm currently using rpm-5.4.0, and I've encountered a few issues.. however
during this I'm trying to diagnose loading of certain files using --showrc. But
when I do, I get a segfault.
Looking at valgrind output I get:
==3492== Invalid read of size 8
==3492== at 0x53E862A: rpmioGetPool (rpmmalloc.c:223)
==3492== by 0x4E73A9B: rpmdsGetPool (rpmds.c:196)
==3492== by 0x4E76209: rpmdsMerge (rpmds.c:950)
==3492== by 0x4E782B2: rpmdsRpmlib (rpmds.c:1567)
==3492== by 0x4E88966: rpmShowRC (rpmrc.c:1243)
And further items that seem to indicate I've got memory corruption.
if (rpmIsVerbose()) {
fprintf(fp, _("Features provided by rpmlib installer:\n"));
xx = rpmdsRpmlib(&ds, NULL);
ds = rpmdsInit(ds);
while (rpmdsNext(ds) >= 0) {
the rpmdsRpmlib is the function causing the issue. Prior to this ds is freed,
and I'm wondering if that is causing the problem. But I'm not sure how to
diagnose any of the memory pool functions or even if Merge is doing the right
thing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
