>Description:
If screen is installed with the default permissions (setuid-root), it core
dumps with a bus error if run as a mortal user, and locks up the
tty if run as root. In both cases, a child process sits in a 100%
cpu busy loop, while the parent dies.
>How-To-Repeat:
make install
rehash
screen
>Fix:
I really do not know.. I looked at the code where it's dying, and
it looks really odd. It almost looks like gcc is mis-compiling the
code, but I could easily be wrong.
It is dying in one of several areas I have seen, mostly inside:
for (display = displays; display; display = display->next) {
if (D_status == 0)
continue;
....
}
D_status is a macro for display->d_status. Somehow, at the point of
death, it is dereferencing a NULL display variable inside the
D_status test. I do not see how it could be doing that.. I must be
missing something obvious.
The only other thing I can think of, is the MD5 passwords. The port
is most definately at -current level, and the patch that increases
the string to 30 is present. It is dying when it has read access to
master.passwd and the encrypted strings.
I have still got more things to try yet, but last time I looked at
it, ktrace paniced the system. I'm waiting for the next ctm mailout.
I did notice that pass2() in process.c can assemble the encrypted
string into "Password" *without* the null terminating character.
