Reported by Paul Marinescu in http://debbugs.gnu.org/7993 The bug was introduced on 2004-12-04 via commit 7380cf79. --- NEWS | 6 ++++++ src/cut.c | 2 ++ tests/misc/cut | 4 ++++ 3 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/cut.c b/src/cut.c index 3f8e3e6..e2fe851 100644 --- a/src/cut.c +++ b/src/cut.c @@ -496,6 +496,8 @@ set_fields (const char *fieldstr) if (rp[i].hi > max_range_endpoint) max_range_endpoint = rp[i].hi; } + if (max_range_endpoint < eol_range_start) + max_range_endpoint = eol_range_start; /* Allocate an array large enough so that it may be indexed by the field numbers corresponding to all finite ranges diff --git a/tests/misc/cut b/tests/misc/cut index 4353994..c905ba9 100755 --- a/tests/misc/cut +++ b/tests/misc/cut @@ -150,6 +150,10 @@ my @Tests = {ERR=>$no_endpoint}], ['inval5', '-f', '1-,-', {IN=>''}, {OUT=>''}, {EXIT=>1}, {ERR=>$no_endpoint}], ['inval6', '-f', '-1,-', {IN=>''}, {OUT=>''}, {EXIT=>1}, {ERR=>$no_endpoint}], + # This would evoke a segfault from 5.3.0..6.10 + ['big-unbounded-b', '--output-d=:', '-b1234567890-', {IN=>''}, {OUT=>''}], + ['big-unbounded-c', '--output-d=:', '-c1234567890-', {IN=>''}, {OUT=>''}], + ['big-unbounded-f', '--output-d=:', '-f1234567890-', {IN=>''}, {OUT=>''}], ); @Tests = triple_test \@Tests; -- 1.7.4.2.g597a6
