Description of problem: in version 2.2 of unix to dos in the ConvertUnixToDosNewFile function there is a call to strcpy on line 250 to an unset pointer on the stack. Since the pointer is unset this can lead to unpredictable results. Additionally the strcpy is no longer needed as the MakeTempFileFrom sets the pointer in question appropriately. I've attached a patch to correct this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.2 How reproducible: Unsure Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Potential sigsegv, or data corruption Expected results: No sigsegv or data corruption Additional info: This problem was discovered in relation to IT69278, in which the reporter discovered that by trying to convert a certain ELF file (I'm not sure why they tried this) they received a sigsegv.
Created attachment 112580 [details] patch to remove unneeded strcpy
Thanks. Fixed in CVS.

I'm a little unhappy bug #145167 was forward duped but never mind (I guess RHEL reports matter more). Anyway will the specfile be fixed up to generate a useful debuginfo and will the warning patch also be applied?
