Flags|needinfo?(pfrankli@redhat.c | |om) | --- Comment #27 from Patsy 
Franklin <pfran...@redhat.com> --- The most immediate solution is for 
the application to be changed to use a compliant crypt salt value. After 
further investigation, we found that the application is passing 
unsupported, nonstandard salt to crypt(). This will result in crypt() 
returning NULL and setting errno to EINVAL. It does not appear that the 
application is checking for a NULL return value from crypt. It also 
appears that the application is using this NULL return value in a 
subsequent function call resulting in a segmentation fault. Previously 
glibc would accept unsupported salt values, but newer versions of the 
library have become stricter. We are currently reviewing the 
implementation to see if the accepted salt values can be expanded while 
still meeting our standards compliance requirements.
