https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D235121 Bug ID: 235121 Summary: shells/rssh: rssh crashes on invocation due to new basename(3) POSIX behaviour Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: topical@gmx.net CC: jharris@widomaker.com Flags: maintainer-feedback?(jharris@widomaker.com) CC: jharris@widomaker.com In FreeBSD 12.0, basename(3) was changed to be POSIX compliant. This implies that it can possibly write to the passed string. rssh passes a const string, so it always crashes on invocation. There are 2 solutions: * modify basename(3) so it only modifies the string if it has to * modify rssh, making a copy of the string first and pass it instead The first solution may help other ports as well but I know that it will take some time until this change will be public. Meanwhile we could fix at least this single port by making it more POSIX compliant. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
