From: Markus Mayer <mmayer@broadcom.com> Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2012 14:46:28 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Fix segfault in dtc when empty input file is given.
Prior to this change, an empty input file would cause a segfault, because yylloc had never been initialized. There was never any characters for the lexer to match, so YY_USER_ACTION was never executed before the parse error was detected.
When the parser printed the error message, it tried to include the name of the file, but the structure holding the file name (yylloc.file, referenced as pos->file) had never been initialized.
Without the fix:
$ ./dtc /dev/null DTC: dts->dts on file "/dev/null" Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ gdb dtc core Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. at scripts/dtc/srcpos.c:194 194 fname = pos->file->name; (gdb) bt at scripts/dtc/srcpos.c:194 fmt=0x40d769 "%s", va=0x7fffbf027148) at scripts/dtc/srcpos.c:220 at scripts/dtc/dtc-parser.tab.c:1920 at scripts/dtc/treesource.c:38 at scripts/dtc/dtc.c:203 (gdb) p *pos $1 = {first_line = 0, first_column = 0, last_line = 0, last_column = 0, file = 0x0}
With the fix:
$ ./dtc /dev/null DTC: dts->dts on file "/dev/null" Error: /dev/null:1.1 syntax error FATAL ERROR: Unable to parse input tree
