Hi,
Maintaining fwknop, I have the following bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508432
I managed with upstream to track down the problem to the
libnet-pcap-perl module (0.16-1).
I have saved a typescript file[1] that shows how to reproduce the
problem leading to:
[quote="syslog"]
Jan 12 19:47:43 diamond kernel: [822901.361529] fwknopd[30660] general
protection ip:f7e626c9 sp:ff9988b0 error:0 in libc-2.7.so[f7df6000+138000]
[/quote]
Here is a short explanation about what is done:
1/ Setup the chroot (i386 only) and install some required packages
2/ Install fwknop with upstream tarball through the install.pl script.
The Net::Pcap (0.05) perl module is bundled in the tarball as other
perl modules.
2/ Run the test suite ; it works fine.
3/ Remove the Pcap.pm file (0.05)
4/ Install libnet-pcap-perl (0.16-1)
5/ Run the test suite ; it fails with a segmentation fault.
This bug makes fwknop unusable on i386 systems.
I consider reassigning #508432 to libnet-pcap-perl (0.16-1), but still
trying to find out what is wrong.
What do others think?
