Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.2.ds1-10 Severity: normal
Testing vanilla 2.6.0-test11 and http://people.redhat.com/mingo/exec-shield/ I'm using bash and ls as an example, but the same symptoms appear in wide range of apps: apt-get with apt-listchanges, init+bootlogd, xterm+bash etc. Without exec-shield: # echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield # bash $ ls changelog.Debian.gz copyright $ exit With: # echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield # bash $ ls changelog.Debian.gz copyright Segmentation fault # <- this segfault happens in bash, not ls # Without NPTL # echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield # LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 bash $ ls changelog.Debian.gz copyright $ Running gdb is kinda tricky,because it segfaults too. By starting gdb before enabling exec-shield: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x08076f5f in kill_pid () (gdb) bt #0 0x08076f5f in kill_pid () #1 0x0806876a in execute_command_internal () #2 0x08068105 in execute_command () #3 0x0805cbb0 in reader_loop () #4 0x0805ac85 in main () execute_command_internal beats my c parsing skills, so I don't really understand what is happening. Same effects with and without libc6-i686.
