segfault with 0.6 and libnetfilter_conntrack 1.0.5

[Thermi]

As described in the subject, contrack.catch() segfaults with libnetfilter_conntrack 1.0.5 and version 0.6 of the egg. It occurs with the provided example events.py and conntrack.py, too.

[regit]

I'm not able to reproduce it using linux 4.2.0 and libnetfilter_conntrack 1.0.5. What version are you using ?

Also could you provide a gdb backtrace to help debugging ?

[Thermi]

Linux 4.1.12, pynetfilter_conntrack 0.6, libnetfilter_conntrack 1.0.5.
I run this on Arch.
For a backtrace with debugging information, I'd need to compile the python interpreter as well as libnetfilter_conntrack, with debug information.
Backtrace:

>>> import poc_test                                                                                                                                                                    [5/382]

Thanks a lot, I won't need the python info. Libnetfilter_conntrack info are enough.

In 1.0.5 line 248 is

but the bt seems to show a line with

Could you source be patched or am I reading it wrong ?

[Thermi]

I checked the PKGBUILD and it pulls the file from netfilter.org directly.

source=("http://www.netfilter.org/projects/$pkgname/files/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2"{,.sig})

The PKGBUILD for pynetfilter_conntrack pulls from cheeseshop.python.org

source=(https://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/source/p/${pkgname}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz)

Same problem here using archlinux 64bits. I traced down the issue to func.py where typing is not strict enough related to the library (int vs uint for values that can have the 31 bit set ...), usage of bytes vs int, pointer sizes in 64 bits systems.

Hi, Can you add more examples with filter?
