When connecting to a Windows Server 2008 machine, receiving a redirect could cause the rdesktop client to terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. This update applies a patch that fixes this error, and receiving a redirect from Windows Server 2008 no longer causes rdesktop to crash.
While testing, I was able to find a segfault but it was not fixed by the installed rpm package. Are there more specific testing instructions? Can you test whether running
rdesktop 10.10.58.122 -r disk:home=./
instead of
rdesktop 10.10.58.122 -r disk:home=.
fixes the problem? I would test myself, but I don't know the password for the test user and the screensaver has started.
Here are my results: When using package: rdesktop-1.6.0-3.x86_64.rpm the following happened: rdesktop directory -r disk:home=. ---> Segmentation Failure rdesktop directory -r disk:home=./ ---> NO Failure (disk mounted) When using package: rdesktop-1.6.0-3.el5_5.1.x86_64.rpm the following happened: rdesktop directory -r disk:home=. ---> Segmentation Failure rdesktop directory -r disk:home=./ ---> NO Failure (disk mounted) So it appears that the newer package yielded no different results. Am I doing something incorrectly? I have built new packages, rdesktop-1.6.0-3.el5_6.1 that should fix this segmentation fault, for real this time. Bug tested in RHEL5.6.z with rdesktop-1.6.0-3.el5_6.1 32bit and 64bit versions. The package eliminated segfaults when using redirects on Windows 2008 server, Windows 7 and Windows XP. Verified. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
