[Bug 1547009] Re: segfault in DNS resolution with libc6-udeb_2.19-0ubuntu6.7_i386.udeb

[Toni Lähdekorpi]

64-bit is also affected.

Also, #1546459 is related?

Title:
  segfault in DNS resolution with libc6-udeb_2.19-0ubuntu6.7_i386.udeb

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When using the latest updates to Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit, the following
  error occurs during installtion:

  wget[6261]: segfault at b77b4d9d ip b73bda0d sp bfde2a40 error 7 in
  libresolv-2.19.so[b73b4000+13000]

  This happens after downloading libc6-udeb
  (libc6-udeb_2.19-0ubuntu6.7_i386.udeb) during the installation - after
  downloading this, future name resolutions fail (attempting to ping a
  DNS name gives a similar segfault)

  I would guess this is likely due to a fix for the recent security
  vulnerability in glibc DNS resolution.

  64-bit appears to be unaffected at present.
