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.

the RHEL6 libdvdread RPM is also affected by Bug #540155

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #540155 +++

Description of problem: The function DVDFileStat requires a pointer to an allocated dvd_stat_t. However, dvd_stat_t is an opaque structure so it cannot be allocated. The function is then unusable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.1.4-0.2.svn1183


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try compiling the following program:
#include <stdio.h>

#include <dvdread/dvd_reader.h>

int
main (void)
{
  dvd_reader_t *reader;

  reader = DVDOpen ("/dev/dvd");
  if (reader)
  {
    dvd_stat_t statbuf;

    if (DVDFileStat (reader, 0, DVD_READ_MENU_VOBS, &statbuf) == 0)
      printf ("Size of VIDEO_TS.VOB: %lu", statbuf.size);

    DVDClose (reader);
  }

  return 0;
}
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
foo.c: In function 'main':
foo.c:13: error: storage size of 'statbuf' isn't known


Expected results:
No error at all.
