Can you reproduce with a simpler caller, e.g. compile matchpathcon from libselinux/utils statically and run it on your corrupted file_contexts file, passing in a pathname that will match the invalid line? I wasn't able to reproduce the bug myself. libselinux does rely on its constructors having run before any functions are called. dpkg isn't built in such a way as to suppress constructor execution, is it? What options are passed to gcc when compiling dpkg? -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
