** Also affects: cryptkeeper (Ubuntu Trusty)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ An uninitialized variable makes cryptkeeper randomly crash on start
+ in Trusty.
+
+ The fix for it had been applied in newer releases (see bug 1420812),
+ starting from Vivid. Would be nice to apply it in Trusty as well.
+
+ The debdiff which is attached to this report contains the fix.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ Since it's a random crash, it may take several attempts to reproduce
+ it. So just run cryptkeeper a few times from the terminal. It should
+ crash right on start if it hits some random value in uninitialized
+ variable.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ None. It had been confirmed that the patched version of cryptkeeper
+ doesn't crash on start anymore (reported by Xenial users for example).
+
+ [Original Description]
+
I don't understand : Most of the time at launch : segfault but sometimes
if you reboot the system it starts without complaining. Sometimes not.
