Description Tomi Leppänen 2018-09-29 18:38:48 UTC
Created attachment 1488450 [details]
example.lircd.conf file that causes segfault

Description of problem:
When I tried to create a configuration for a remotu using irrecord it had a segmentation fault after I finished recording buttons and pressed enter instead of writing another key name. I can reliably reproduce it with my setup on two computers. It can also be do with the config file that irrecord had saved to a temporary file before segfaulting. Here I'm explaining the error with the config  file because it can be reproduced without any extra hardware and I think it's the same error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lirc-core 0.10.0-8.fc28

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download this example.lircd.conf
2. Run irrecord example.lircd.conf
3. See that it segfaults.

Actual results:
Segfault.

Expected results:
I can continue recording buttons.

Additional info:
Originally I tried to record buttons for my remote with this command:
irrecord -Hftdi -dserial=00000000,input=7
Here is a FAF report of the segmentation fault: https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/2325089/

Now that I have the example file it's very easy to reproduce. This can also be reproduced on other lirc programs that may read this configuration file (which may be obvious from the stack trace).

This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life.
On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 28. 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that are no longer maintained.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 '28'.

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 28 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.

Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
