Description of problem: _dbus_bindings/message.c has this code: Message_set_reply_serial(Message *self, PyObject *args) { dbus_uint32_t value; if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "k", &value)) return NULL; [snip] The 'k' format code expects a pointer to an "unsigned long" (see http://docs.python.org/c-api/arg.html). On an architecture where "unsigned long" is 8 bytes wide (s390x, off the top of my head, probably other 64 bit archs), PyArg_ParseTuple will write 8 bytes into the stack location of "value", which presumably is only 4 bytes wide. So I believe this will fail on big-endian architectures for which "sizeof(long) > 4" , and also on such 64-bit archs in which the stack descends in memory (is this the case on any of our archs?). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dbus-python-0.83.0 Found using my new static checker for Python code (which could be buggy): http://dmalcolm.livejournal.com/3689.html
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle. Changing version to '13'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'. 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 13'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 13 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
Bug still present in latest git packaging sources.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
