Package: glibc Version: 2.19-9 Severity: important Tags: upstream Investigation (By Edmun Grimley-Evans) for #759040 discovered that a patch for getcontext/setcontext is in the Debian glibc package but was not being applied.
He said: ------ "It seems that registers d8, d10, d12, d14 are restored correctly, but d9, d11, d13, d15 are not. I believe this is the bug that is preventing gnupg2 from working, because I have observed pth_select_ev corrupting those odd-numbered registers, and libpth20 does use getcontext, setcontext, ... This bug may have been fixed by Will Newton's patch in April, which is mentioned in Debian's changelog: http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/g/glibc/glibc_2.19-9_changelog If I've understood correctly (please help!) this patch is in Debian's source package (debian/patches/arm64/submitted-setcontext.diff) but is only applied in "experimental"." ------ This is now fixed in http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-glibc?view=revision&revision=6245 (thanks adam). This bug filed to track the issue for affected packages, until a fixed version is in the archive. Wookey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
