[Bug 355993] Re: fwknopd crashed with SIGSEGV in pthread_getspecific()

[thialme]

Hi,

Please have a look at the following bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508432

libnet-pcap-perl allows the pcap_loop function to be interrupted by
signal which causes segfault.

In a first time a fix has been added to fwknop since 1.9.10-2

fwknop (1.9.10-2) unstable; urgency=low 
   * Added quilt framework along with README.source
   * Added patch to fwknopd in order to bypass #508432.
     Thanks to Martin Ferrari.

By the way, the libnet-pcap-perl module has also been patched to behave the
same way as its previous release.

It has been uploaded in Debian Sid this week.

   * Do not allow the pcap loop function to be interrupted by signals.
     It happens this causes segfault. (Closes: #508432)
       - Documented the usage of quilt through README.source.
       - Added Build-dependency on quilt in d.control
       - Updated d.rules
       - Added safe_signal.patch.
     This patch makes Net::Pcap behave the same way as its previous release.

To fix it, upgrade to libnet-pcap-perl 0.16-2 and/or upgrade to fwknop
1.9.10-2

We still do not know why Net::Pcap crashes :(

Regards,
