Description Rolf Eike Beer archtester 2019-05-17 08:28:34 UTC 
After I upgraded to glibc-2.29-r2 I get "stack smashing detected" errors in a lot of places, critical were these 2:

-calling fsck during boot (it called fsck.ext*, which seems to work), these failures causes boot to fail
-ssh login

Also many of my remote nagios checks failed, I'm not entirely sure what caused this, but it could have been ssh client failing, too.

After downgrading to 2.28-r6 things worked again immediately.
Comment 1 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-05-18 08:46:27 UTC 
Sounds like a glibc bug. Is fsck a statically linked file by chance? I'd like to reproduce it in qemu-user or qemu-system and debug a bit. Wonder which binary would be easiest to debug.
Comment 2 Rolf Eike Beer archtester 2019-05-18 15:59:25 UTC 
Nope, fsck is dynamically linked.
Comment 3 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-08-28 18:40:50 UTC 
I failed to reproduce it on defaults.

Can you post full `emerge --info`? I'll try to reproduce locally with a closer to yours' environment.
Comment 4 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2019-09-01 21:58:44 UTC 
Not sure what's going on here. I cannot reproduce. glibc-2.29-r2 looks good on catbus.
Comment 5 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-11-19 23:25:08 UTC 
Let's close it as obsolete.
