Package: gnu-fdisk Version: 1.2.5-2 Severity: important The following procedure reproducibly segfaults cfdisk for me:
1. cfdisk /dev/sdd
* note: /dev/sdd is a 3 TB disk with no partition table
2. When prompted on whether to create partition table, choose Create
3. Choose msdos disk label type
4. Choose New->Primary->Begining (yes, there's a typo there)
5. Enter 15GB for the new partition size, ext4 for type
6. In the free space, choose New->Primary->End, 1TB, ext4
Now the disk looks as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------
Number Flags Part Type Filesystem Label Size
1 Primary ext4 15003MB
Pri/Ext Free space 1985591MB
2 Primary ext4 999997MB
------------------------------------------------------------
7. In the "Free space" area, choose New->Extended->Begining
8. Press Enter to accept the offered size of 1985591MB
Expected result:
9. cfdisk does not crash, proceeds to create the partition
Actual result:
9. cfdisk segfaults in query_part_position()
Here's a GDB log that indicates the problem is in the variable "range"
being NULL. Note that to reproduce this, you need to compile gnu-fdisk
with debug symbols, for which you will first need to fix it to build
(#741767; I'll send a patch for that).
