After reading MySQL's code, I was able to make it work with this patch (almost the same as the Fedora patch). The patch switches from the missing make_scrambled_password() to my_make_scrambled_password(). Although my_make_scrambled_password() was not visible to client programs in MySQL 5.7, somehow libmysqlclient20 had fixed it earlier so my_make_scrambled_password() is available. And as the MySQL source code stated make_scrambled_password() as the wrapper around my_make_scrambled_password() to maintain client lib ABI compatibility, this switch changes should work.
P.S. I have tested the patch for 2 hours and hadn't noticed any stack overflows. I will post if the overflow happens in the future. ** Patch added: "libpam-mysql.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam-mysql/+bug/1574900/+attachment/4672241/+files/libpam-mysql.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574900 Title: libpam-mysql undefined symbol: make_scrambled_password - Needs Patches Applied by RedHat / Fedora Community to Fix Ubuntu 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam-mysql/+bug/1574900/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
