Bug#967940: libc6: systemd-sysusers SEGV due to glibc bug in fgetgsent
Package: libc6
Version: 2.28-10
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
Dear Maintainer:
After update to Buster, the systemd-sysusers are segfaulting every time.
After search around, I found following bugreport in glibc
https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/libc-alpha/2016-06/msg01015.html
I backported to the fix to 2.28-10, it fixed the problem.
glibc upstream have a different fix for it in 2.32, see
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20338
I think it's still easier to backport old 2.28 version
