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the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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 value in /etc/sysctl.conf for kernel.core_pattern is not being set in the system /proc filesystem on boot. If you manually run sysctl -p it does get set. In addition, there are errors messages being generated by default values in /etc/sysctl.conf:
error: "net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables" is an unknown key
error: "net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables" is an unknown key
error: "net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables" is an unknown key
abrt is the only thing by default that sets core_pattern - assigning there. The *tables errors are unfortunate due to the order of network module loading, and can't be avoided; it's why all scripted invocations of it use '-e'.

This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has
been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.
** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **
Testing the fix for bug 614486 with kernel-2.6.32-83.el6.
I set /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern to:
echo really_long_long_long_long_long_long_long_long_corename_s%s_c%c_p%p_u%u_g%g_t%t_h%h_e%e >/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
When abrt starts, it sets core_pattern to:
|/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp /var/spool/abrt %s %c %p %u %g %t %h %e 7265616c6c795f6c6f6e675f6c6f6e675f6c6f6e675f6c6f6e675f6c6f6e675f6c6f6e675f6c6f6e675f6c6f6e675f636f72656e616d655f7325735f6325635f7025705f7525755f6725675f7425745f6825685f652565
The long hex string is a hex-encoded "really_long_long_long_long_long_long_long_long_corename_s%s_c%c_p%p_u%u_g%g_t%t_h%h_e%e"
But only "|/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp /var/spool/abrt %s %c %p %u %g %t %h %e 7265616c6c795f6c6f6e675f6c6f6e675f6c6f6e675f6c6f6e675f6c6f" makes it (127 chars).
As a result, abrt-hook-ccpp saves coredump under truncated name "really_long_long_long_long_lo"
I'd say that for most real-world cases it will work, but raising the 128 char limit would be appreciated.
