This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Under rare circumstances, the realloc implementation in glibc may not copy the entire allocation. We need to backport this upstream commit: commit b50dd3bc8cbb1efe85399b03d7e6c0310c2ead84 Author: Florian Weimer <fw.de> Date: Mon Dec 31 22:04:36 2018 +0100 malloc: Always call memcpy in _int_realloc [BZ #24027] This commit removes the custom memcpy implementation from _int_realloc for small chunk sizes. The ncopies variable has the wrong type, and an integer wraparound could cause the existing code to copy too few elements (leaving the new memory region mostly uninitialized). Therefore, removing this code fixes bug 24027.
