From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: When I tested the new NASL interpretor (for Nessus), I discovered that some scripts made it crash under Redhat 8.0 Valgrind revealed that even when it did not crash, the library handled uninitialized values. This could not be reproduced un Redhat 7.3, so I suppose that the bug is in glibc-2.2.93-5 only. To reproduce it, fetch a development version from Nessus CVS -- but not the last one which uses internal regex on Redhat 8.0. Version from Jan 23rd 2003 should be OK. See http://www.nessus.org for instructions. Compile nessus-libraries and libnasl, run a web server on localhost and run : nasl /dir/.../webmirror.nasl If it does not crash, you are lucky, but running it under valgrind should reveal some horrors. If this bug is not already known, I can find a simpler way to reproduce the problem. email me. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: To reproduce it, fetch a development version from Nessus CVS -- but not the last one which uses internal regex on Redhat 8.0. Version from Jan 23rd 2003 should be OK. See http://www.nessus.org for instructions.

Additional info: If it does not crash, you are lucky, but running it under valgrind should reveal some horrors.
Please try newer glibc (from rawhide). It should be fixed in there.
