description |
LP: #1022545 fix introduced a regression that might cause rsyslog not to start, even though the upstream commit seems to claim otherwise :
ChangeLog
A remporary buffer was allocated one byte too small. Did only
affect startup, not actual operations. Came up during routine tests,
and can have no effect once the engine runs. Bug was introduced in
7.3.11. |
LP: #1022545 fix introduced a regression that might cause rsyslog not to start, even though the upstream commit seems to claim otherwise :
ChangeLog
A temporary buffer was allocated one byte too small. Did only
affect startup, not actual operations. Came up during routine tests,
and can have no effect once the engine runs. Bug was introduced in
7.3.11.
[Impact]
As reported in duplicate bug #1187876, this issue causes rsyslog to fail to start in some circumstances due to the resulting malloc corruption, which may cause cloud instances to fail to configure themselves correctly on boot. This is a critical regression introduced in an SRU.
[Test case]
1. reproduce the error with rsyslog failing to start, with errors written to /var/log/upstart/rsyslog.log:
*** Error in `rsyslogd': malloc(): memory corruption: 0x00000000007b2930 ***
and verify that 'status rsyslog' shows 'start/spawned' instead of 'start/running'.
2. kill any lingering rsyslog processes with 'sudo killall rsyslogd && sudo stop rsyslog'.
3. upgrade to the -proposed version of the package.
4. verify that rsyslogd is now running ('status rsyslog' shows 'start/running').
[Regression potential]
Minimal. This is a targeted one-character fix for a regression introduced in the previous SRU. |
