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.

reproducer test case from upstream Sourceware Bugzilla
Description of problem: Runtime linker does not honor DT_FILTER.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.28-151.el8
How reproducible: 100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download and extract attached reproducer test case.
2. Change to directory and run "make main".
3. Run "./main".
Actual results: main calls func1() from lib2.so
Expected results: main calls func1() from lib1.so
Additional info: Upstream bug description (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27977#c0) has rationale.
There has been quite a bit discussion on the upstream ticket: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27977
I don't know if the customer is already involved there. While this is clearly a bug in our DT_FILTER implementation, I need to clarify that this unlikely to be fixed anytime soon. Even if we (or someone else) develops an upstream fix for this issue, we don't know yet how backportable it will be.
If the symbol collision involves a Red-Hat-provided library, maybe we should consider renaming that symbol instead. But it seems that the customer is dealing with two different pieces of third-party software.
