Description David Binderman 2004-10-29 09:35:50 UTC
Description of problem:

I just tried to compile package memprof-0.5.1-5 from 
Redhat Fedora Core 3 Test 3.

The compiler said

memintercept-utils.c(224): warning #269: invalid format string conversion

The source code is

        mi_printf (fd, "memintercept (%P): ");

I don't know what %P is supposed to do, but there isn't a parameter
for it.

I assume it does something with the randon memory in the stack.

Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!

Closing per lack of response to previous request for information.
This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora
Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version
for which this bug is confirmed.

Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security
fixes only.  Please install a still supported version and retest.  If
it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct
version.  Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the
product to Fedora Legacy.  Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not
get to this bug earlier.
