-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
We currently receive a lot of reports from people running Red Hat Linux (7.x and 8.0) that cannot access MySQL via TCP/IP after updating the GNU C library (glibc) via Red Hat's up2date updating tool. MySQL simply crashes in this case, only downgrading to the previous installed glibc seemed to help. I've done some more research on the subject and read up on several bugs that have been filed into Red Hat's Bugzilla about that and I just wanted to update you on the current situation: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=74943 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=75128 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=75290 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=75297 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=75684 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=75507 HJ Lu, one of the GNU core developers mentioned the following in bug #75684: "glibc 2.2.5-40 changes a buffer type from 1k to 64k. Unfortunately, resolver uses that buffer on stack. As the result, many threaded applications, which have a lower stack limit, start to dump core for no apparent reasons." Red Hat's Jakub Jelinek is working on a fix for glibc (it breaks other threaded applications as well, e.g. Sun's JDK, see bug #75507) and has created a preliminary glibc upgrade package for people to test. If it passes final QA, Red Hat will make it available via up2date: ftp://people.redhat.com/jakub/glibc/errata/ Seems like this package resolves the problem, as some people have confirmed later in bug #75128. So it's being worked on and will hopefully be resolved very soon. According to the Cc: list in bug #75128, quite a lot of people are interested in getting informed, when it's finally fixed :) Bye, LenZ - -- For technical support contracts, visit https://order.mysql.com/?ref=mlgr __ ___ ___ ____ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Mr. Lenz Grimmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, Production Engineer /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Hamburg, Germany <___/ www.mysql.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9sDitSVDhKrJykfIRAlpqAJ0e3wM1VAXL8rCeYmOucPZzm3XgxQCdGYbI CM8zLesbjVd7FMK4+Lk4cpU= =oFO7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
