This was first reported to the full-disclosure list on Nov 22 2002. This is not exploitable since there is no input to the program (other than the device name but the segfault only occurs when this is missing). However we've fixed the bug in lockdev-1.0.0-21, but will not be issuing an errata for older releases. Thanks for reporting this issue. |
