Description of problem: Invoking semodule with the -B option and an extra argument causes the process to hang and consume CPU. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): policycoreutils-1.33.12-12.el5 How reproducible: From a root shell, execute 'semodule -B aaa' Steps to Reproduce: 1. execute 'semodule -B aaa' 2. Note that it does not complete, and that it is comsuming 100% CPU. Also, no response to a SIGINT (^C) from the terminal. 3. Kill it using kill -9 Actual results: semodule never completes and returns an error. Expected results: semodule should complete and possibly return an error Additional info: I tried this on a rawhide system, X86_64 running policycoreutils 2.0.29-1.fc8, and it segfaults.
Fixed in policycoreutils-2.0.31-7.fc8
