RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

How reproducible:

Everytime when auth_pass value set the first character to  "!".

keepalived is crashing at the time of parsing auth_pass token from keepalived.conf. as per the configuration if in auth_pass value first character it ! and keepalived considered it as a comment so it is showing NULL and crashed. 

>>>>>>>

 auth_pass !"##!F24g234g13r3dojijf94

>>>>>>>>>

Steps to Reproduce:

RHEL7.2
keepalived-1.2.13-7.el7.x86_64

If in auth_pass value first character it ! and keepalived considered it as a comment so it is showing NULL and crashed. 

Actual results:
ABRT - keepalived killed by SIGSEGV

Expected results:
Should not crash

Additional info:

Customer confirmed that it works with version "keepalived-1.2.13-6.el7.x86_64" and does not segfault with a "!" in the beginning of the password.

So this bug does not occur in keepalived-1.2.13-6.el7 but does occur in keepalived-1.2.13-7.el7? Just want to be perfectly clear on this point
