Description Karel Volný 2014-07-08 12:59:08 UTC 
this fails on RHEL 5.11 too (RHEL5.11-Server-20140625.0)
ipmidetectd 0.5.1

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #460876 +++

Description of problem:
The source file ipmidetectd_config.c does not contain {0, 0, 0, 0} as the last record in the long_options array, which is necessary for getopt_long(). This missing record causes that getopt_long() gets out of array bounds when searching for an unsupported long option.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
freeipmi-ipmidetectd-0.4.6-3.fc8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
$ /usr/sbin/ipmidetectd --debug
Segmentation fault
$ /usr/sbin/ipmidetectd --config-file
Segmentation fault
$ 
  
Actual results:
/usr/sbin/ipmidetectd is terminated (segmentation fault) if it is executed with unsupported long option

Expected results:
/usr/sbin/ipmidetectd is not terminated (segmentation fault) if it is executed with unsupported long option

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 shipped it's last minor release, 5.11, on September 14th, 2014. On March 31st, 2017 RHEL 5 exited Production Phase 3 and entered Extended Life Phase. For RHEL releases in the Extended Life Phase, Red Hat  will provide limited ongoing technical support. No bug fixes, security fixes, hardware enablement or root-cause analysis will be available during this phase, and support will be provided on existing installations only.  If the customer purchases the Extended Life-cycle Support (ELS), certain critical-impact security fixes and selected urgent priority bug fixes for the last minor release will be provided.  For more details please consult the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Life Cycle Page:

This BZ does not appear to meet ELS criteria so is being closed WONTFIX. If this BZ is critical for your environment and you have an Extended Life-cycle Support Add-on entitlement, please open a case in the Red Hat Customer Portal, https://access.redhat.com ,provide a thorough business justification and ask that the BZ be re-opened for consideration of an errata.
