Title:
  bug in chrpath option parsing

Status in “chrpath” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: chrpath

  In package chrpath-0.13-2, in source file main.c at line 26, the long_options array should be terminated with a zeroed entry, as per getopt_long(3), but it is not.
  This causes chrpath to crash if an unknown long option is specified.

  On my system (ubuntu jaunty amd64) the bug does not always show in the distributed binary because (by luck) some null bytes happen to follow the array in the compiled image, but the executable will crash if you specify a "forged" option such as:
     chrpath --$(printf "\206 \255\373")
