Description Daniel Pavel 2003-03-12 18:01:48 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030312

Description of problem:
Trailing spaces in /etc/ld.so.conf entries are not ignored when checking for
libraries (as seen in strace output).

An entry like

"/usr/local/lib "

causes the dynamic library loader to check for the existence of the directory
"/usr/local/lib " instead of "/usr/local/lib".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-2.3.1-46

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Append trailing spaces at one of the entries in /etc/ld.so.conf (say
/usr/local/lib)
2. Run ldconfig
3. Try running a program that requires a dynamic executable present in the
directory whose entry has been modified


Actual Results:  The program fails to load, cause: dynamic library not found.

Expected Results:  The program should have loaded (i.e. ld should have ignored
the trailing spaces in /etc/ld.so.conf)

This has been changed in the CVS glibc version.  The next binary we provide will
probably already have the change.

Comment 2 Ulrich Drepper 2003-11-04 21:34:05 UTC

Should be fixed in RHL9 errata, test version at

  ftp://people.redhat.com/jakub/glibc/errata/2.3.2-27.9.4/
