This past weekend xastir was running on my laptop. As
of last night, this is what now happens:
mm at ab3ap mm $ xastir
Built-in map types:
gnis USGS GNIS Datapoints
map APRSdos Maps
map WinAPRS/MacAPRS/X-APRS Maps
pdb PocketAPRS Maps
Support for these additional map types has been compiled in:
geo Image Map (ImageMagick library, many formats allowed)
geo URL (Internet maps via libcurl library)
xpm X Pixmap Maps (XPM library)
xastir: stack smashing attack in function create_appshell()
Aborted
I use the Gentoo linux distribution (which you keep up to date by
typing "emerge -uD world" rather than upgrading with new releases),
so I'm not sure if the gentoo update or the xastir cvs update
brought this new unwelcome behavior.
Before I start tracing the problem, has anyone else come across it?
My gentoo box at work does not use ax.25 and the latest xastir
runs fine on it. So I'm assuming it's some issue related to using ax.25.
Also, the error occurs even if I run xastir as root.
Thanks!
Mike
