Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2-2
Any program that (indirectly) uses libnss, staticly linked with older
glibc versions will segfault after 2.3.2 is installed. I suspect this
is because of a changed internal interface with libnss.
I believe that the problem is that the NSS mechanism uses dynamic
linking even if an executable is linked staticly.
Here's a simple test case for you.
Build it with
cc -static -o p p.c
under a 2.3.1 glibc; run it under 2.3.2.
It segfaults.
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <pwd.h>
int main(void)
{
struct passwd *p;
p = getpwnam("adm");
return 0;
}
