[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-22351) Segfault in LIBEDIT_INTERNAL after tgetstr()

[Walter Doekes (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-22351?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=209518#comment-209518 ] 

Walter Doekes commented on ASTERISK-22351:
------------------------------------------

You're now looking at a segfault in term_set, not in tgetstr. I'm betting 't' is uninitialized and points to NULL or garbage. That would be your doing.

(And it's optimized again.)
(And you're still not answering my question about cap.)

> New installation in this server. After everything is installed and asterisk started, anytime a try to open an asterisk console with asterisk -vvvvvvvvvr I get a "Segmentation fault" and console doesn't open, but asterisk keeps running. If I stop asterisk and try to start it with asterisk -vvvvvvc, it fails in the same way.
> I've been doing some research, and found a guy with the same problem in the past, related whit the value of the TERM system variable. In my case is "xterm", but if I change it for a non existent value ('lalalala' for example) then console starts.
> Digging deeper, I've found that the problem is in main/editline/term.c , in line 960 when executing this:
> term_alloc(el, t, tgetstr((char *)t->name, &area));
> If I change this line with the one executed when TERM has an unknown value...
> term_alloc(el, t, NULL);
> ... and recompile, then console starts.
>  the problem seems to be in the tgetstr function, because if I add a line just with this...
> tgetstr((char *)t->name, &area);
> ... I get the same error.
> I'll try to get core dump stuff, but maybe with this info is enough at the moment to find a solution. I've been trying to find the problem/solution studying the code, but no luck yet.
