Thank you very much for the quick reaction. Praise where praise belongs to, the upstream bug was discovered by Enrik Berkan on Usenet. Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.

Thanks for finding the upstream bug. > The issue in logger is fixed in util-linux 2.39. I've uploaded 2.38.1-6 with the patch from upstream applied. Getting 2.39.1 in is a lot more work, so I hope this is an acceptable stop gap. Best, Chris
Bug#1040710: please consider packaging util-linux 2.39 for logger fix
Package: util-linux Version: 2.38.1-5+b1 Severity: normal Hi, logger in util-linux 2.38 has a bug that leads to sending uninitialized data to a socket, see https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/issues/2336 This might be the root cause for adduser's autopkgtests failing on s390x keeping adduser out of testing. In addition, a program should never send uninitialized data. The issue in logger is fixed in util-linux 2.39. Please consider packaging the new version. Thanks in advance! Greetings Marc
