I've worked out a patch to rwall.c which null terminates mbuf before it is passed to clnt_create(). This fixes the problem in precise (12.04.4). However, when I test in trusty (14.04 Beta2), the problem does not exist in the original rwall & rpc.rwalld, even though rwall & rpc.rwalld are the same package version (0.17-7) and rwall & rpc.rwalld have the same 'sum -r' as precise.
Darn, I assumed that because they were the same, the problem needed to be fixed. I wonder what else has changed that fixed the problem... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1277981 Title: rwall adds \377 bytes to short messages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netkit-rwall/+bug/1277981/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
