This seems to be caused by compiling glusterfs with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2, which also seems to be the default in gcc. I rebuilt gluster-client with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 and that "fixes" the problem.
Details: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-09/msg02055.html Quick workaround: mkdir glusterfs cd glusterfs apt-get source glusterfs-client sudo apt-get build-dep glusterfs-client cd glusterfs-3.0.5 DEB_CFLAGS_APPEND="-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1" debuild -us -uc cd .. sudo dpkg --install glusterfs-client_3.0.5-1_*.deb sudo dpkg --install libglusterfs0_3.0.5-1_*.deb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/785158 Title: Client 3.0.5 crashes with buffer overflow -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
