[Bug 201673] Re: Hardy: "invalid pointer: 0xb7ef4b70" no program will start.
People are concerned about 'sudo' and MALLOC_CHECK_ variable. Anybody could run anything exporting it with "=1", but suid and sgid binaries don't work with it. >From `info malloc`: There is one problem with `MALLOC_CHECK_': in SUID or SGID binaries it could possibly be exploited since diverging from the normal programs behavior it now writes something to the standard error descriptor. Therefore the use of MALLOC_CHECK_' is disabled by default for SUID and SGID binaries. It can be enabled again by the system administrator by adding a file `/etc/suid-debug' (the content is not important it could be empty). It means I could 'touch /etc/suid-debug'.

Here's how I did: * Boot from the Live CD/DVD * Depending on the Live CD you are using (Gnome is better, cause you'll only need to double click the appropriate icon on your desktop), you'll have to manually mount your root partition or not.

If you don't have a root password, a solution that I used to downgrade the package which involves a reboot follows: - If you have upgraded, but didn't reboot yet, get the older version from your favorite mirror and save it to somewhere you know. An example link is http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.7-5ubuntu2_i386.deb - If you can't launch a browser for whatever reason, use alt+f2, type this: uxterm -e /bin/dash and use links to download. - reboot. - on the grub, select your favorite kernel, hit the 'e' key, select the line starting with 'kernel', change the 'ro' word on the line to 'rw' and add 'init=/bin/dash' to the end. - wait for 10 seconds, nothing will be displayed when the system is booted into a root shell. try 'ls' to see whether it's done. - cd /to/the/path/you/downloaded/the/package and use dpkg to downgrade: 'dpkg -i libc6_2.7-5ubuntu2_i386.deb' - type 'sync' to make sure that everything gets written for sure - hit ctrl+alt+del to reboot. you should be set now. -HTH -- Hardy: "invalid pointer: 0xb7ef4b70" no program will start. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201673 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This was really scary. On a reboot I couldn't even get a shell in recovery mode.

Confirmed. This is EXTREME bad juju. Nothing works. I, too, am afraid to shut down. This is libc6 2.7-9ubuntu1 on Hardy i386. The system went into the crapper during an apt-get update. The previous version of libc was 2.7-5ubuntu2. -- Hardy: "invalid pointer: 0xb7ef4b70" no program will start. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/201673 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
