RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
ldconfig segfaults if the /var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache is corrupted.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
glibc-2.12-1.166.el6_7.7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove some entries from /var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache to make corrupt file.
2. Run ldconfig to rebuild cache
3.

Actual results:
# ldconfig 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Expected results:
ldconfig should check for corrupt cache and rebuild it again.

Additional info:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18093

The workaround is to remove the aux-cache and re-run ldconfig. More importantly you need to determine the root cause of the filesystem corruption.

We are beyond the RHEL 6.8 planning phase and so this issue would move to be fixed in RHEL 6.9. However, RHEL 6.9 is in production phase 2, and this issue would not qualify for an urgent priority bug fix. Therefore I am closing this as CLSOED/WONTFIX.

We have cloned this issue to fix it in rhel-7.4.

Let me rephrase that as:
We have cloned this issue to consider addressing it in the RHEL-7 product.
