[strongSwan-dev] imv_attestation crash

Hi Avesh,

I had a look into your crash. Line 692 in imv_attestation_agent.c
(referring to the current master) is

691	enumerator = session->create_workitem_enumerator(session);
692	while (enumerator->enumerate(enumerator, &workitem))

Thus first I checked if the enumerator returned by

  session->create_workitem_enumerator()

could be a NULL pointer so that enumerator->enumerate() in line 692
would crash. Having a look at the create_workitem_enumerator() method:

METHOD(imv_session_t, create_workitem_enumerator, enumerator_t*,
	private_imv_session_t *this)
{
	if (!this->policy_started)
	{
		return enumerator_create_empty();
	}
	return this->workitems->create_enumerator(this->workitems);
}

I see that the enumerator is always well defined so that there must
be another reason for the crash.

Which strongSwan version were you using when this crash occurred?
It might be that the line numbers have changed in the master.

Best regards

Andreas
