Title:
  mdadm --detail --scan segfaults during update-initramfs

Status in “mdadm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “mdadm” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released
Status in “mdadm” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [IMPACT]

   * mdadm --detail --scan segfauls, when used with raw device names

   * This may result in update-initramfs call failure, preventing users
  from updating linux kernel and other parts which are included in the
  initramfs.

  * The bug is fixed in the upstream bug fix point release

  [TESTCASE]

   * Reproduce a segfault by running mdadm --detail --scan with raw device names
   * Upgrade the package
   * Notice that running mdadm --detail --scan no longer segfaults 

  [Regression Potential]

   * Minimal, worst thing that can happen is that the said call still
  segfaults or has other new problems.
