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 Florian Weimer 2019-11-22 21:22:43 UTC
Current glibc does not preserve binary compatibilty with certain C++ binaries linked against versions before glibc 2.1. The legacy stdio implementation in libio/oldstdfiles.c needs a check for interposition of the stdio handles, similar to the existing check in libio/stdfiles.c (which was fixed prior to the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0).

Comment 1 Carlos O'Donell 2019-12-09 14:14:02 UTC

    libio: Disable vtable validation for pre-2.1 interposed handles [BZ #25203]
    
    Commit c402355dfa7807b8e0adb27c009135a7e2b9f1b0 ("libio: Disable
    vtable validation in case of interposition [BZ #23313]") only covered
    the interposable glibc 2.1 handles, in libio/stdfiles.c.  The
    parallel code in libio/oldstdfiles.c needs similar detection logic.
    
    Fixes (again) commit db3476aff19b75c4fdefbe65fcd5f0a90588ba51
    ("libio: Implement vtable verification [BZ #20191]").

Comment 4 Sergey Kolosov 2020-08-31 09:48:00 UTC
Verified with Counter Strike server. It fails on glibc-2.28-105.el8 with "Fatal error: glibc detected an invalid stdio handle" and it runs on glibc-2.28-117.el8.
