Hello Chris, or anyone else affected, Accepted eglibc into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/2.15-0ubuntu10.12 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance! ** Changed in: eglibc (Ubuntu Precise) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to eglibc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1109327 Title: who command gets "who: memory exhausted" for certain inputs Status in The GNU C Library: Fix Released Status in eglibc package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in eglibc source package in Lucid: Won't Fix Status in eglibc source package in Precise: Fix Committed Status in eglibc source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Status in eglibc package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: SRU Justification: [Impact] * When using who, certain characters can cause issues with eglibc's vfprintf causing memory issues and who to print 'memory exhausted'. [Test Case] * Download wtmp.clean. * locale-gen en_US.UTF-8 # if necessary * LANG=en_US.UTF-8 who wtmp.clean * If you see 'who: memory exhausted' the test failed. [Regression Potential] * This patch reverts a change that fixes the issue in BZ #6530. * The patch also adds a test case to check for handling of incomplete multi-byte characters. * upstream patch URL: http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=715a900c9085907fa749589bf738b192b1a2bda5 -- * Description: When running who with the attached file we get an error of "who: memory exhausted". $ who wtmp.clean This works fine in newer versions of eglibc. I was able to determine that coreutils was not the problem by using the precise version of coreutils with the raring eglibc version. In that case the problem went away. In addition I've compiled the precise version for raring, and the problem is not present. * Versions affected: This affects current Lucid, Oneiric, Precise and Quantal eglibc versions. 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.12 2.13-20ubuntu5.3 2.15-0ubuntu10.4 2.15-0ubuntu20.1 But does not affect Raring eglibc ( 2.17-0ubuntu1 ) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/glibc/+bug/1109327/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
