Hi,

A while ago I reported a couple of bugs into your bugtracker about issues in xfs_repair that I found through fuzzing (with the tool american fuzzy lop).

http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1119
null pointer access

http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1120
out of bounds heap read access

http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1121
http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1122
2x assert

When opening these bugs I got an error message. I then contacted your support and almost two months(!) later I got a reply telling me that I should not use bugzilla, instead I should report bugs to this mailing list.

Your webpage however clearly states that I should use bugzilla:
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/

This is all a bit ridiculous. If you don't want people to use your bugzilla don't say so on your webpage and preferrably disable the creation of new bugs.

Anyway: Please have a look at the bugs I reported (and once they're fixed I'll happily re-test the code to see if there are more issues that can be found via fuzzing).

oss.sgi.com infrastructure is not well maintained, I'm sorry about that, but it's up to SGI to fix anything that needs fixing, I'm afraid.

Which is a pity, because a well-maintained bug tracker would be pretty useful.

That said, reporting to the list is also probably a good idea.

You didn't say what version of xfsprogs you tested, but there have been a few independent fuzz-related fixes recently; you might just retest against what's currently in the git tree, and see if we got lucky. ;)

Thanks,
