[UBUNTU] - glibc: z15 (s390x) strstr implementation can return incorrect result if search string cross page boundary

[bugproxy]

[Impact]

glibc: strstr(): Invalid result if needle crosses page on s390-z15 ifunc variant.
If the specified needle crosses a page-boundary, the s390-z15 ifunc variant of
strstr truncates the needle which results in invalid results.

Example:
needle = "Hello" <page-boundary> "World"
really used needle = "Hello"
haystack = "abc HelloBug def"
result = "HelloBug def"

This only happens if the needle before page-boundary contains 9 or less characters.

See upstream-glibc bugzilla "Bug 25226 - strstr: Invalid result if needle crosses page on s390-z15 ifunc variant."
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25226)

Fixed with upstream-glibc commit "S390: Fix handling of needles crossing a page in strstr z15 ifunc-variant. [BZ #25226]"
(https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=bfdb731438206b0f70fe7afa890681155c30b419)

Please backport this commit to Ubuntu 19.10, which includes glibc 2.30

Already backported to upstream-glibc-release-branch-2.30:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=f4419b0d0181da28f18cba40068f2e75300f5020

glibc 2.31 (tentativ GA 2020-02-01) will have this fix integrated.
If this version will not be picked finally, then this fix is also needed for 20.04

[Test Case]

 * glibc builds and passes testsuite, as the commit to backport includes comprehensive testsuite for the problem in question in the glibc api.

[Regression Potential]

 * Fix released in focal, and available from stable upstream branches.
 * all autopkgtests will be triggered, implying that comprehensive test coverage will execute on all architectues.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package glibc - 2.30-0ubuntu3

---------------
glibc (2.30-0ubuntu3) focal; urgency=medium

  * Cherrypick upstream fix for strstr on s390x z15. LP: #1854326

Hi,

I've installed Ubuntu 20.04 with glibc (2.30-0ubuntu3) and checked that the fix is included.
Thanks.

Will this fix also be available for Ubuntu 19.10 where this z15 strstr ifunc variant is also available?

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Hello bugproxy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted glibc into eoan-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/2.30-0ubuntu2.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-eoan to verification-done-eoan. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-eoan. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Comment from IBM Dev:
I've installed Ubuntu 19.10 with libc6/eoan-proposed 2.30-0ubuntu2.1 and checked with an own test-program that the fix is included.

[Frank Heimes (fheimes)]

Many thx for the verification - I'm adjusting the tags accordingly.

That i386 build failure in eoan-proposed is quite annoying:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/2.30-0ubuntu2.1/+build/18674640

Makes build-essential uninstallable for example...

[Leon (lehjr)]

"That i386 build failure in eoan-proposed is quite annoying"

More than just that, it makes things like Steam and Wine 32 bit libs uninstallable.

is 2.30-0ubuntu3 from "The Focal Fossa" a drop in replacement?

[pvdeynse (vandeynse)]

yes i have same problem, Wine is no longer working, and if i reinstall Wine than it breaks my nvidia-340 driver. It took me 2 days to downgrade glibc from 2.30-0ubuntu2.1 to 2.30-0ubuntu2 all is working fine again but "Software Updater" now complains that not all updates can be installed and asks me to run a partial upgrade.

[jscmal (jscmal)]

I have no problem on my ubuntu installation.

But this file with another one (or more) of GNU C are still not ready to be updated.

I am waiting for days now. This situation begins to worry.

I hope to see every problem solved soon.

It's unclear to me, why a s390x-only change leads to i386 fails.
Have you just backported the single commit or have you done further changes (further commits / sync from Ubuntu 19.10 to Ubuntu 20.04 libc6-package / package files)?

[Łukasz Zemczak (sil2100)]

Ok, so I have re-triggered the i386 build and this time it built correctly, so the i386-caused issues should have disappeared. I will be releasing the SRU if everything seems to work properly now.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for glibc has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
