Description Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-11-22 10:20:26 UTC

Description of Problem:
bzip2 can be brought into a state where it will cause an infinite loop of 
segfaults (until killed)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.0.1-4

How Reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. bzip2 -f /tmp

Actual Results:
Infinite segfault loop

Expected Results:
bzip2: Input file /tmp is not a normal file

Comment 1 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-11-26 19:32:15 UTC

Fixed in bzip2-1.0.1-5 ("-f" bypassed checks for file being sane, I made it exit
on the file being a directory anyway).
