Yes, my apologies, the upstream libc fixes for CVE-2014-9761 did some reworking of functions to eliminate some repeated vulnerable code, using internal functions to do the work instead. Unfortunately, this did introduce new function references between libc and libm, causing the problems seen above. Unfortunately, these changes were applied to libc in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 15.10 as well, so I'm surprised the same problem was not seen there, too. There was no update for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, so no issues should be seen there.
Joi: yes, the reboot motd notification was triggered with this update (and will be for future libc updates). That doesn't help you if you can't log in to see it. :( ** CVE added: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi- bin/cvename.cgi?name=2014-9761 ** Summary changed: - PHP Update on 2016-05-25 causes Apache not to restart, libm.so.6: symbol __strtold_nan, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference + libc on 2016-05-25 causes Apache not to restart, libm.so.6: symbol __strtold_nan, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to eglibc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1585614 Title: libc on 2016-05-25 causes Apache not to restart, libm.so.6: symbol __strtold_nan, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference Status in eglibc package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This morning I applied the following updates to Ubuntu 12.04 webservers: The following packages are currently pending an upgrade: apt 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.27 apt-transport-https 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.27 apt-utils 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.27 libapache2-mod-php5 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23 libapt-inst1.4 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.27 libapt-pkg4.12 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.27 php5-cli 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23 php5-common 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23 php5-curl 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23 php5-dev 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23 php5-gd 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23 php5-mysql 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23 php-pear 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.23 Apache fails to restart, siting error: apache2: Syntax error on line 212 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: /lib/x86_64-linux- gnu/libm.so.6: symbol __strtold_nan, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference Into file /var/log/apache2/error.log Looks like I am trying to roll back all those php packages... Which I see several updates marked Security Update in the changelogs, thus checking the "security vulnerability" box as rolling back in this case is such. :-( To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/1585614/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
