Description Frank van Maarseveen 2011-06-23 13:02:36 UTC

Description of problem:

	mcpp crashes on symlink arguments which try to "../" above root.

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

	2.7.2-4.fc14

How reproducible:

	very well

Steps to Reproduce:

	cd /tmp
	date >foo
	ln -s ../../tmp/foo bar
	mcpp bar

Actual results:

	Can't open input file "".
	Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Expected results:

	preprocessed file

Additional info:

This program seems crap. It dumps core too when supplying a random
nonexistent file argument. The problem was discovered by an incorrect
symbolic link to a .Xresources file in a home directory: it can cause
xrdb -merge to fail in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 13:54:44 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
