Aborted [jbj@wellfleet tmp]$ rpm --version rpm (RPM) 5.2.DEVEL There's an assertion check that the offset field in the trailer region that marks the end of the plaintext that is digitally signed had a negative value stored originally. The code is different in rpm-5.0, but a similar operation is performed in rpm4 as a sanity check on the "immutable header region" i.e the plaintext that is digitally signed in a *.rpm package. Here's the snippet of rpmdb/header.c code around the assertion failure: .. { rpmint32_t off = (rpmint32_t) ntohl(pe->offset); if (hdrchkData(off)) goto errxit; if (off) { /*@-sizeoftype@*/ size_t nb = REGION_TAG_COUNT; /*@=sizeoftype@*/ rpmuint32_t * stei = memcpy(alloca(nb), dataStart + off, nb); rdl = (rpmuint32_t)-ntohl(stei[2]); /* negative offset */ assert((rpmint32_t)rdl >= 0); /* XXX insurance */ ril = (rpmuint32_t)(rdl/sizeof(*pe)); if (hdrchkTags(ril) || hdrchkData(rdl)) goto errxit; entry->info.tag = (rpmuint32_t) htonl(pe->tag); } else { ril = il; /*@-sizeoftype@*/ rdl = (rpmuint32_t)(ril * sizeof(struct entryInfo_s)); /*@=sizeoftype@*/ entry->info.tag = HEADER_IMAGE; } } entry->info.offset = (rpmint32_t) -rdl; /* negative offset */ .. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
