Original description:
What were you trying to do that didn't work?
A customer could not update his system because when updating packages, postinstallation scripts executing ldconfig internally were failing, due to ldconfig crashing while rebuilding its cache.
It appears that a library file was truncated on the file system, the library still had the "transient" name "libnftables.so.1.0.0;<someid>" as unpacked by cpio.
IMHO ldconfig should be robust to never crash.
Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:
glibc-2.28-225.el8.x86_64
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to reproduce
- Copy /usr/lib64/libnftables.so.1.0.0 at release nftables-0.9.3-26.el8.x86_64 then truncate the file
# cp /usr/lib64/libnftables.so.1.0.0 /tmp # truncate -s 163840 /tmp/libnftables.so.1.0.0
- Execute ldconfig
# gdb --args ldconfig -n /tmp (gdb) run
Expected results
No crash
Actual results
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
