FreeBSD stefan.fafoe 4.5-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE #1: Sat Feb 2 13:05:42 CET 2002 stefan@stefan.fafoe:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL i386
>Description:
In the function set_etype() the variable funcs loops over the known binary types. If no match is found, funcs->type gets NULL and the loop terminates. Next funcs itself is incorrectly compared to NULL instead of funcs->type. Thus NULL is returned from set_etype() and when the result is later dereferenced truss will dump core.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run truss with a binary unknown to truss; known are 'FreeBSD a.out', 'FreeBSD ELF' and 'Linux ELF' on i386 at the moment.
>Fix:
Note: patch is against 1.15.2.1 as I have no -current tree around.
