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.
A defect in the library security hardening could cause legacy 32-bit x86 binaries to crash during exit. The security hardening has been adjusted to account for the API uses of the legacy 32-bit x86 binaries. Legacy 32-bit x86 binaries should no longer crash.
This commit, which went into glibc 2.23, introduces wide stream buffer deallocation during the exit produces:

In preparation for fixing BZ#16734, fix failure in misc/tst-error1-mem
when _G_HAVE_MMAP is turned off.
This results in an out-of-bounds access with unpredictable consequences during process shutdown for i386 binaries which enable the legacy stdio handles.
Usually, this is supposed to happen only for very old binaries, but it turns out that the launchers in OpenJDK 8 are linked in such a way that this happens for them as well. See bug 1688841 for details.
To maximize compatibility, we should backport the eventual upstream fix to glibc.
The upstream patch has been committed:
