https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205528 Bug ID: 205528 Summary: x11/nvidia-driver-173 replace BOGUS patch Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: portmaster@bsdforge.com Created attachment 164524 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=164524&action=edit diff (patch) for x11/nvidia-driver-173 I recently attempted to install the driver on one of my boxes only to discover the patch security-patch-CVE-2012-0946 was rejected. Closer examination revealed that nVidia had already applied the top half for src/nv.h in the distribution, and that the second half for src/nvidia_subr.c was not even valid. But it was clear what the attempt was to do -- replace EINVAL with -1. So, I simply created a patch (unified diff) to cover it. The machine I performed all this on is still being built. So I was unable to create an svn diff, the attached, is a unified diff. Hope this helps! --Chris -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
