[Bug 1584431] [NEW] mongosniff crashes on start

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Joshua Powers (powersj):

== Begin SRU Template ==
[Impact]

 * mongosniff crashes when it receives messages with no namespace. The result is that a user cannot even press only the enter key without the mongosniff application crashing.
* mongosniff in Xenial and Yakkety is essentially broken currently because of a check in the code that gets the message namespace, but if there is no namespace it crashes.

[Test Case]

 * lxc launch ubuntu-daily:xenial xenial
 * lxc exec xenial bash
 * apt install mongodb
 * mongosniff --source NET lo
 * # Open a 2nd terminal and run the following
 * lxc exec xenial bash
 * mongo
 * # press enter a few times or type 'help'
 * # Observe mongosniff abort, with a core dump, in the first window

[Regression Potential]

* Users currently experiencing this issue would be expecting a SRU fix to come from us as the application is broken in a major way.
* The only work around it would would require rebuilding mongodb from source with the fix to resolve the issue.
* The change was limited to the mongosniff source code only.

[Other Info]

Ubuntu:
* Xenial x64

Packages:
#user at localhost:~$ for i in `dpkg --get-selections|grep -v deinstall|grep mongo|cut -f1`; do echo $i `sudo apt-cache show $i|sed -n -e 's/^.*Version: 1://p'`; done
* mongodb 2.6.10-0ubuntu1
* mongodb-clients 2.6.10-0ubuntu1
* mongodb-server 2.6.10-0ubuntu1
