Description Florian Weimer 2014-11-11 11:07:56 UTC
The implementation is broken because it is not thread-safe and does not really follow the behavior of the BSD function (the returned string could be destroyed by independent read operations on other streams).

I couldn't find any external users of these functions (as defined in libbsd), so it's probably safer to remove these functions.

fparseln could be implemented directly on top of getline because it does not return the pointer obtained from fgetln.

Comment 1 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 16:29:25 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 2 Eric Smith 2015-03-06 04:54:38 UTC
It would be best if this was addressed by upstream. I'll inquire about it. Aside from that, patches are welcome.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 20:20:40 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
