This bug resolves https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810100 rpm builds for i686 were failing with a segfault in networkxml2argvtest. Running under valgrind showed that a region of memory was being referenced after it had been freed (as the result of realloc - see the valgrind report in the BZ). The problem (in replaceTokens() - added in commit 22ec60, meaning this bug was in 0.9.10 and 0.9.11) was that the pointers token_start and token_end were being computed based on the value of *buf, then *buf was being realloc'ed (potentially moving it), then token_start and token_end were used without recomputing them to account for movement of *buf. The solution is to change the code so that token_start and token_end are offsets into *buf rather than pointers. This way there is only a single pointer to the buffer, and nothing needs readjusting after a realloc. (You may note that some uses of token_start/token_end didn't need to be changed to add in "*buf +" - that's because there ended up being a +*buf and -*buf which canceled each other out). DV gets the credit for finding this bug and pointing out the valgrind report. --- tests/networkxml2argvtest.c | 13 +++++++------ 1 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/networkxml2argvtest.c b/tests/networkxml2argvtest.c index cf00181..87519e4 100644 --- a/tests/networkxml2argvtest.c +++ b/tests/networkxml2argvtest.c @@ -18,18 +18,19 @@ /* Replace all occurrences of @token in @buf by @replacement and adjust size of * @buf accordingly.
