Hello, When UML kernel is built with _FORTIFY_SOURCE defined, then all arguments for snprintf, printf etc. are checked by glibc.
mconsole_init defines file[256] which is used later to construct the socket path. file is then passed to os_create_unix_socket which in turn uses sockaddr_un to describe the socket. The problem happens when snprintf tries to fit file into sun_path which is only 108 bytes long. The checks fail and kernel abort()s. Temporary solution is to fix file declaration to be 108 or less bytes but checks should be introduced when socket path is constructed.
