Description jacek.midura 2026-03-04 16:31:50 UTC
I can't use procdump on Fedora 43 because every time it terminates very early with the following output:

$ sudo procdump dummy

Monitors one or more processes and writes a core dump file when the processes exceeds the
specified criteria.

*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated
Aborted                    sudo procdump dummy

(note the ProcDump v0.0.0 in the output despite the version of the tool is 3.5.0 - not sure if it matters).

I have fully updated Fedora 43 (kernel 6.18.13-200.fc43.x86_64). I use procdump from Fedora repository. Both versions available in the repo get aborted in the same way:

procdump.x86_64 3.4.0-2.fc43 fedora
procdump.x86_64 3.5.0-1.fc43 updates


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install 'procdump' with 'sudo dnf install procdump'
2. run 'sudo procdump dummy' and see it being aborted
Actual Results:
Program is aborted with message:

*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated
Aborted                    sudo procdump dummy

Expected Results:
Program does not get aborted due to buffer overflow.

Additional Information:
RHEL8 binaries from ProcDump repo https://github.com/microsoft/ProcDump-for-Linux/releases/download/3.5.0/procdump-3.5.0-0.el8.x86_64.rpm work OK in Fedora, it's only a problem with native Fedora packages.
