[Rpm-maint] Check signature rpm segmentation fault

[Shakthi Kannan]

Hi,

I am trying to check if the signature of a RPM package is valid
(equivalent of rpm --checksig) or not using C. When I run the
following function through a loop (more than 6 times with rpm 4.8.0,
and 13 times with rpm 4.8.1) it causes segmentation fault.

=== BEGIN ===

#include <rpmlib.h>
#include <rpmts.h>

int
rpm_check_signature (char *filename)
{
  FD_t fd;
  rpmts ts;
  rpmVSFlags vsflags = 0;
  Header hdr;
  rpmRC rc;

  rpmReadConfigFiles(NULL, NULL);

  fd = Fopen (filename, "r.ufdio");

  if (fd == NULL) {
    printf ("Error cannot open file\n");
    return 1;
  }
  else {
    ts = rpmtsCreate();
    (void) rpmtsSetVSFlags (ts, vsflags);

    rc = rpmReadPackageFile (ts, fd, filename, &hdr);

    ts = rpmtsFree (ts);
    Fclose (fd);

    return (rc == RPMRC_OK ? 0 : 1);
  }
}

=== END ===

I compile it using gcc rpmsig.c -lrpm -lrpmio -I/usr/include/rpm. What
could be missing in the above? Appreciate any inputs in this regard,

Thanks!

SK
