Description Michael Schwendt 2008-08-28 15:58:50 UTC
1) The plugin packages don't work. echoping overwrites the
plugin name arg and then tries to load ".so". That results in
a fatal error message. Search for 

  sprintf(plugin_name, "%s.so", plugin_name);

in the echoping.c source. Watch out for other unsafe sprintf
calls, some where snprintf ought to be used.

2) The directory %{_libdir}/echoping/  is not included in the
main package.

3) The plugin packages must include *.so* and NOT *.so.*

4) Segfaults in the plugins (whois and dns at least) related to
parsing args.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 02:53:40 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

More information and reason for this action is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2009-11-18 08:19:22 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 10.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '10'.

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 prior to Fedora 10's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 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 please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

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.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2009-12-18 06:20:43 UTC
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 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.

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

Comment 4 Michael Schwendt 2009-12-18 07:28:02 UTC
Package is unchanged except for rebuilds by releng and the openssl maintainer.

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2010-03-15 12:05:08 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle.

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 19:51:27 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
