Source: openscap Version: 0.5.12-2 Severity: important Usertags: implicit-pointer-conversion
Our automated buildd log filter[1] detected a problem that is likely to cause your package to segfault on architectures where the size of a pointer is greater than the size of an integer, such as ia64 and amd64. Function `oval_agent_cb_data_get_session' implicitly converted to pointer at openscap_pm_wrap.c:39305 Function `oval_agent_cb_data_get_callback' implicitly converted to pointer at openscap_pm_wrap.c:39333 Function `oval_agent_cb_data_get_usr' implicitly converted to pointer at openscap_pm_wrap.c:39361 Function `oval_agent_cb_data_new' implicitly converted to pointer at openscap_pm_wrap.c:39642 Function `oval_agent_cb_data_new' implicitly converted to pointer at openscap_py_wrap.c:3460 Function `oval_agent_cb_data_get_session' implicitly converted to pointer at openscap_py_wrap.c:33636 Function `oval_agent_cb_data_get_callback' implicitly converted to pointer at openscap_py_wrap.c:33658 Function `oval_agent_cb_data_get_usr' implicitly converted to pointer at openscap_py_wrap.c:33680 Function `oval_agent_cb_data_get_session' implicitly converted to pointer at openscap_pm_wrap.c:39305 Function `oval_agent_cb_data_get_callback' implicitly converted to pointer at openscap_pm_wrap.c:39333 Function `oval_agent_cb_data_get_usr' implicitly converted to pointer at openscap_pm_wrap.c:39361 Function `oval_agent_cb_data_new' implicitly converted to pointer at openscap_pm_wrap.c:39642 Function `oval_agent_cb_data_new' implicitly converted to pointer at openscap_py_wrap.c:3460 Function `oval_agent_cb_data_get_session' implicitly converted to pointer at openscap_py_wrap.c:33636 Function `oval_agent_cb_data_get_callback' implicitly converted to pointer at openscap_py_wrap.c:33658 Function `oval_agent_cb_data_get_usr' implicitly converted to pointer at openscap_py_wrap.c:33680 This is often due to a missing function prototype definition. For more information, see [2]. Though it is guaranteed that this codepath will cause a segfault on certain architectures, it is not guaranteed that this codepath would ever be executed (e.g., if the returned pointer is never dereferenced).
