Source: zvbi Version: 0.2.35-1 Severity: important User: debian-al...@lists.debian.org Usertags: alpha Justification: Fails to build from source but built in the past
zvbi FTBFS on alpha (also ppc64 by the looks) due to a bug in the test suite routine test-packet-830. Build log for alpha at: http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=zvbi&arch=alpha&ver=0.2.35-1&stamp=1380861750 The problem is the function assert_decode_teletext_8301_cni() in test/test-packet-830.cc which reads as: static void assert_decode_teletext_8301_cni (unsigned int * cni, const uint8_t buffer[42]) { uint8_t buffer2[42]; unsigned int cni2; memcpy (buffer2, buffer, sizeof (buffer2)); memset_rand (cni, sizeof (cni)); That should be sizeof(*cni) in the last line. The memset_rand() function due to an incorrect size specification (8 bytes for a pointer on a 64 bit arch like alpha) writes past the end of the 4 bytes of an unsigned int, indeed into buffer2 which happened to be allocated after cni, causing a later assert comparing buffer and buffer2 to fail.
