Package: libdebian-installer4 Version: 0.98 Severity: serious Tags: d-i patch
The map_hardware[] table in src/system/subarch-arm-linux.c is no longer NULL terminated. I believe this could lead to a segfault on armel/armhf platforms, resulting in a failed install. This bug was introduced back in version 0.92. The end of the table was trimmed, and accidentally took the NULL terminator with it: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/libdebian-installer.git/commit/?id=3a7209e49fa5cfe8c4e4122325405022031a8afc DISCLAIMER: I haven't actually observed a crash, I just discovered this while reviewing source. But it does seem like a potential time-bomb we should fix pre-release.
