Subject: [docbook2mdoc] Segfault encountering href attr in xml preamble(s)
Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2019 14:28:33 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190419042833.r5h33msa4h3pbej5@BlackBox> (raw)
I tried testing the new 1.0.0 release on some of my files and came
across this bug. Some refentry files encode their chosen xsl stylesheet
by putting it in the file itself. I believe this is to help converters
like xmlto(1). The format is:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="http://foo.tld/bar.xsl"?>
When docbook2mdoc encounters the href attribute, it eventually calls
xml_attrkey() in parse.c, failing in the TAILQ_INSERT_TAIL macro. Having
stepped through the code in GDB, I believe this is because the queue
hasn't been allocated yet.
I also realised that this happens on any xml declaration. The smallest -
and of course invalid - file that triggers this behaviour is:
<?xml href="foo"?>
or even smaller:
<? href="foo"?>
