Created attachment 1030742 [details] patch from upstream ML Description of problem: Conserver program crashes with attempt to free uninitialized variable when user attempts to use a "task" defined in conserver.cf. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): conserver-8.1.20-1.fc20.x86_64 (verified) Presumably conserver-8.2.0-* is affected if the description of the fix is correct (see below). I believe the packages in F21 and later are affected but I am only able to check F20 at this time. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Define a task in conserver.cf, e.g. task t { description "True"; cmd /usr/bin/true; } 2. Connect to a console and attempt to invoke the task (ctrl-e, c, !, t) 3. Console connection either hangs (with conserver server process consuming 100% CPU) or terminates. Actual results: Attempting to run a task causes the server to crash or hang. Expected results: Running a task should succeed (or fail) without destabilizing the server. Additional info: User report with same symptoms: https://www.conserver.com/pipermail/users/2014-September/msg00000.html Fix for 8.2.0 posted to upstream's ML here: https://www.conserver.com/pipermail/users/2014-September/msg00003.html I was able make the equivalent fix to the 8.1.20 package in F20 and verify that it fixes the issue.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
