Package: dpkg The implementation of vsnprintf in the compat library uses and caches the file descriptor for a temporary file.
If the vsnprintf function is called before a fork, two concurrent processes will share the cached file descriptor and will eventually cause a race condition where the output of snprintf in one process will leak to the other. The easy solution is to simply stop using a global file descriptor, it will be slower, but it will at least be correct. Daniel -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
