Did you build RPMs from the source RPM? EL6 uses a newer version of
glibc that has stack and buffer overflow protection mechanisms. I don't
know what the status of 5.0.3 is with regards to these glibc mechanisms,
but previous versions would fail in like manner when, in particular, the
-DFORTIFY_SOURCE flag was set to anything other than zero. Fedora, since
version 8, has set -DFORTIFY_SOURCE=2. I have not used EL6, but my guess
is that EL6 is doing the same thing as newer versions of Fedora.
In any case, Bacula should be compiled using the compiler flags that are
set when Bacula is built from source, rather than from rpmbuild. Either
build from the source tarball or else set the proper CFLAGS in the
global cflags used by rpmbuild, which is set by the %__global_cflags
macro in /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros, if you want/need an RPM. You can
see what CFLAGS should be by running configure against the source
tarball. (FORTIFY_SOURCE will not be defined at all, or will be set to
zero.) Then set %__global_cflags accordingly and use rpmbuild to build
the RPMs with the proper flags. Note that you will have to restore the
%__global_cflags macro to its original state before building any of
Redhat's source RPMs, which are designed to have FORTIFY_SOURCE=2.
Again, I'm not certain this is still an issue with building Bacula RPMs
on Fedora (or probably EL6), but it is a possible (probable?) cause of
this error. If so, then keep in mind that this is not a real buffer
overrun, and does NOT mean that Bacula has any buffer overrun
vulnerabilities. It is caused by inadvertently turning on a glibc
"feature" that Bacula does not have any use for.

Hi,
Is anybody having troubles with running Bacula 5.0.3 filedaemon on
(Oracle) Enterprise Linux 6 - 64 bits ?
Yesterday i upgrade one of our servers. I recompiled the filedaemon
and now the filedaemon fails almost immediately after starting a
backupjob.
I tried with various options: without openssl, static binaries but
none of them worked.
I'm getting this error (please note that "backup" is not our bacula
director server: that one is still running fine on EL5)
