I've tested unscd with the patch and saw no issues, but unfortunately there is no simple repro script that generates the failure. Customers just see this issue appear after some time of running the service.
The customer in comment #3 also confirmed that unscd_0.52-1 fixes the issue for them, and this null pointer check is the only change in that release. To me this seems low risk to keep the null pointer check and release this. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-done -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1376274 Title: unscd segfaults regularly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unscd/+bug/1376274/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
