Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
The inner libc is not initialized if the internal namespace slot has been used before. We should fix this because it also impacts audit modules (if an audit module candidate is unloaded because la_version is missing or declined loading).

elf: Call __libc_early_init for reused namespaces (bug 29528)
libc_map is never reset to NULL, neither during dlclose nor on a
dlopen call which reuses the namespace structure. As a result, if a
namespace is reused, its libc is not initialized properly. The most
visible result is a crash in the <ctype.h> functions.
To prevent similar bugs on namespace reuse from surfacing,
unconditionally initialize the chosen namespace to zero using memset.
Upstream has the fix now for the dmlopen bug, this unblocks adding this to the fix.

elf: Do not completely clear reused namespace in dlmopen (bug 29600)
The data in the _ns_debug member must be preserved, otherwise
_dl_debug_initialize enters an infinite loop. To be conservative,
only clear the libc_map member for now, to fix bug 29528.
Fixes commit d0e357ff45a75553dee3b17ed7d303bfa544f6fe
("elf: Call __libc_early_init for reused namespaces (bug 29528)"),
by reverting most of it.
