Description Robert Morris 2021-07-27 21:15:18 UTC
If I run shells/pdksh on FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p3 on an amd64,
and type

((--))

then ksh gets a segmentation fault.
Comment 1 Robert Morris 2021-07-27 21:37:35 UTC
The problem is that v_evaluate() in expr.c doesn't initialize curstate.val,
and token() doesn't set es->val when given this particular input.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the report. I try to reproduce the behavior in my
environment (FreeBSD 12 amd64) and pdksh doesn't crash. I only
got an error message : "ksh: --: -- requires lvalue"

Do you use project packages ? latest or quarterly branch ?
If do, can you made a sum of the pdksh binary, just to be sure
I'm testing with the right environment.

If you build your own packages, can you provide more details about
your setup.

All the best
-- Rodrigo

I get this crash whether I use the pkg or /usr/ports.
When I install with pkg, it says:

New packages to be INSTALLED:
        pdksh: 5.2.14p2_6

Here's the checksum &c of the binary:

% sum /usr/local/bin/ksh
13590 279 /usr/local/bin/ksh
% ls -l /usr/local/bin/ksh
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  285096 Jul  1 15:24 /usr/local/bin/ksh
$ echo $KSH_VERSION 
@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14.2 99/07/13.2
% uname -a
FreeBSD xxx 13.0-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p3 #0: Tue Jun 29 19:46:20 UTC 2021     root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC  amd64
% echo '((--' | ksh
Segmentation fault

I see the same bug when compiling from /usr/ports, but I do
not know how to find out what version of ports I'm using.
If you tell me what to do, I'll do it. As far as I know there's
nothing special about my setup.

Thanks for the details, with the command line you provide I can reproduce the issue. I  move the issue to the open state.
