Package: libnotmuch-dev Version: 0.18.2-1 Severity: important In the API documentation for notmuch_database_close() it says: * After notmuch_database_close has been called, calls to other * functions on objects derived from this database may either behave * as if the database had not been closed (e.g., if the required data * has been cached) or may fail with a * NOTMUCH_STATUS_XAPIAN_EXCEPTION. However, if you call notmuch_database_close() on a database and then call notmuch_database_add_message(), it doesn't fail nicely with a NOTMUCH_STATUS_XAPIAN_EXCEPTION, it segfaults. This should either be fixed so it doesn't crash, as documented, or the documentation should be changed to describe which functions are unsafe to call after notmuch_database_close(). I'm attaching a small C program to reproduce the bug. It crashes with the following backtrace: (gdb) bt #0 0xb71f3f27 in Xapian::WritableDatabase::begin_transaction(bool) () from /usr/lib/sse2/libxapian.so.22 #1 0xb779480d in notmuch_database_begin_atomic () from /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnotmuch.so.3 #2 0xb7794fa0 in notmuch_database_add_message () from /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libnotmuch.so.3 #3 0x080488d3 in add_new_email (db=0x82b5610, filename=0x8048b51 "/new-mail-2@example.net:2,", content=0x8048b30 "hello") at notmuchcrash.c:27 #4 0x080489d7 in main () at notmuchcrash.c:52 Installed version of libxapian22: 1.2.19-1+deb8u1 -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libnotmuch-dev depends on: ii libnotmuch3 0.18.2-1 libnotmuch-dev recommends no packages. libnotmuch-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
