I restarted php on affected servers, problem didn't come back yet. What I saw in strace / tcpdump is a dns request with rrtype 0x5100 in the question.
There have been problems with libc6 updates before and there is this debconf thingy "Services that need to be restarted". This indicates a known problem with libc6 updates. php-fpm should be added to this list of services... I don't fully understand how exactly the bug "works". My working theory goes like this: php-fpm master process has lots of shared libs mmaped into memory. Those are not affected by a libc6 upgrade that changes libs on the file system. When php-fpm forks a worker process, it inherits all the maps. But the worker process does some actual work and loads (diff /proc/{$master,$worker}/maps) /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss_dns-2.23.so which is the *new* version and not ABI compatible with the already loaded libc6. If my theory holds, restarting the affected process will indeed fix the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1674733 Title: php_network_getaddresses since last update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1674733/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
