Hello, Now I'm getting these messages: *** buffer overflow detected *** And the program terminates. It happens reproducable on RC1-PPC with a software I compiled myself. But I remember seeing it with original SUSE software as well. Is it possible to turn off this 'feature'? Bye, Peter

Sure. You just fix the broken software and you are done. Robert -- Robert Schiele Tel.: +49-621-181-2214 Dipl.-Wirtsch.informatiker mailto:rschiele@uni-mannheim.de

I have some problems with it: - I'm not a programmer... - It's a one user home machine, where it can't cause much trouble, so I would turn this 'feature' off... The software itself, where this message and termination is reproducable is 'vobcopy' compiled from PackMan src.rpm using the '-m' switch. The DVD drive is extremly loud in this Pegasos2-PPC machine, so I wanted to mirror the content to HDD, before watchig the film. Bye, Peter

Then you might want to do a bug report to the author.

Ready.

Thanks. It works now. I had to edit out from the file /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc inside the y2pmbuild build environment. Bye, Peter

You actually left a buffer overflow inside your software. What software is this? Can you run in gdb and get a backtrace? Ciao, Marcus

It's 3rd party, compiled on Pegasos2-PPC, called 'vobcopy' to be able to enjoy watching DVD without my extremly loud DVD-drive. Copying my own, 5+ years old film to HDD won't cause a security problem (vobcopy did not even exist, so no shell code could be crafted for it, and it's running as average user ;-) ). I have never used gdb, so did not have a possibility to do a backtrace before. But if you point me to some documentation, I will do it. Bye, Peter

Ok, no worries then :) Ciao, Marcus

Just apply the attached patch and everything should be fine. Regards Christoph

Thank you, it works fine. Just two short questions: - ist it PPC specific, or generic? - may I forward it to the author ( robos@users.sf.net ), or you already did it? Now it's time to learn, how to include a new patch in the spec file ;-) Bye, Peter

This is a generic problem...
- may I forward it to the author ( robos@users.sf.net ), or you already did it?
Sure, go ahead. Regards Christoph
