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.

Description Cantab Capital 2013-06-03 21:01:58 UTC 
Created attachment 756515 [details]
The script to demonstrate the bug. From the glibc bug #12453 report

Description of problem:

This is a known bug and the upstream has already got it fixed. But as RHEL v6 is using an older version of glibc and the upstream fix has not yet been back-ported onto RHEL 6, so customers are still affected.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc v2.12 on RHEL v6, including all patched version along the RHEL v6 line, from 6.0 to 6.4 and post-6.4 patches to date, and for all editions, workstation, server, etc.

The bug number recorded upstream is #12453 (or the duplicated #11952). See the relevant bug reports for glibc here:
http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12453
http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11952


How reproducible: Always.
From the bug reports on http://www.sourceware.org/, there is a script to exploit this bug, i.e.,
http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=5218
For your convenience, I've also attached the script in this report.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the above script, http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=5218
2. run the script, it will actually create a couple c source codes and compile then, then run the produced binary
3. then on RHEL v6, it will segfault

Actual results:
Segfault

Expected results:
Should run fine and produce correct results, not segfault.

Additional info:
On upstream release glibc v2.14, this bug has already been fixed. See here:
http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=d26dfc60edc8c6dd160eefff16a734152a835ca0
http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=fc317541ab359b33ed7bf402ead84ba6f112604c

So, it is just up to RedHat to backport the fix, and produce the compatible rpm for RHEL v6 platform.
Comment 2 Cantab Capital 2013-06-11 09:00:12 UTC 
Hi, I just edit the title for this bug. Otherwise the bugzilla system will parse the string "bug #xxx" and create a hyperlink to the bug within this bug database, which in this case is not its true meaning.
Comment 8 Carlos O'Donell 2016-08-09 19:18:36 UTC 
Already fixed in RHEL 6.6.
