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.

Comment 2 Miroslav Lichvar 2018-10-29 08:57:05 UTC
In RHEL7 there is no ncurses-6.1. Can you please report it on the upstream mailing list?

And mention clearly how to reproduce this, instead of sending a termcap file?

Comment 4 Miroslav Lichvar 2018-11-28 15:00:10 UTC
The comment #0 suggests it should be an input of the captoinfo utility. But it doesn't seem to crash for me with the current ncurses-6.1 code (nor the other POC file from the bug #1643754).

It would be good to at least know which ncurses-6.1 version exactly crashed.

I'm CCing the upstream maintainer if he could make any sense of this.

Comment 5 Thomas E. Dickey 2018-11-28 21:45:53 UTC
It doesn't crash with current ncurses, and as noted is not relevant to RHEL7.
In a quick check, it doesn't crash with ncurses 6.1 release, either.
