From 6b415a1a7f5bad2fff7b133ef2a2febccb96d6e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Forster Date: Wed, 27 May 2009 09:27:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] src/linux/device.c: Fix segfault when running without `--net'. If running without `--net', the (global) variable `netname' is NULL. This creates a segmentation fault because this NULL-pointer is passed to strdup: Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. #0 0xb7d30463 in strlen () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (gdb) bt #0 0xb7d30463 in strlen () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #1 0xb7d30175 in strdup () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #2 0x0805bf47 in xstrdup (s=0x0) at xmalloc.c:118 <--- #3 0x0805be33 in setup_device () at device.c:66 #4 0x0805072e in setup_myself () at net_setup.c:432 #5 0x08050db2 in setup_network () at net_setup.c:536 #6 0x0805b27f in main (argc=Cannot access memory at address 0x0) at tincd.c:580 This patch fixes this by checking `netname' in `setup_device'. An alternative would be to check for NULL-pointers in `xstrdup' and return NULL in this case.
