Title:
loadkeys segfaults with certain arguments in 16.10
Status in kbd package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
This can be reproduced as follows:
1) Switch to VT 1 (ctrl+alt+f1)
2) run: loadkeys garbage
3) loadkeys will segfault
The problem appears to be with the implicit declaration of xmalloc in loadkeys.c. It is resolved if
#include "xmalloc.h" is added to the top of that file (and in fact all the other source files in kbd that reference xmalloc include that file).
Interestingly xmalloc is resolved without include but the returned
pointer seems to get truncated. It doesn't do this if the source is
built with gcc 5.4 in 16.04 so maybe it has something to do with gcc
6.2 in 16.10.
