Description

Most of the crashes in the attachment happened to audtool called by my application, not manually. But today when I run `audtool help` from terminal, it displayed the help message and segfaulted. I don't know if versions other than 3.10.1 and 4.0.1 are affected, because my coredumpctl list goes back less than five months.

History

#1 Updated by John Lindgren almost 4 years ago

I cannot reproduce this. The backtrace is deep in some GLib code so it doesn't look like our bug at first glance.

(edit: typo)

#2 Updated by Igor Kushnir almost 4 years ago

audtool is one of the most common programs in my coredumpctl list. audtool runs only for a very short time, though many times every day on my system. So this launch frequency could be a reason it crashes relatively often. Or perhaps it's something about how audtool is built.

#3 Updated by John Lindgren almost 4 years ago

Well, the backtraces are all identical, and all within g_dbus_connection_close_sync(). I suspect there is a bug in that function -- maybe related to it being called in an atexit() handler.

To get to the root of this, someone will have to find a way to reliably reproduce it, and then spend some time debugging that call tree in GLib. I don't have the time to do this myself.

  • Subject changed from audtool segfaults occasionally to audtool segfaults in g_dbus_connection_close_sync() occasionally

#5 Updated by John Lindgren over 2 years ago

Has anyone else reproduced this in >1 year?

#6 Updated by Igor Kushnir over 2 years ago

My current coredumpctl list starts on 2021-02-17 and contains no audtool entries. I think this issue can be closed. Must have been fixed somewhere, somehow.
