Package: linux-image-amd64
Version: 4.19+105+deb10u17

Appears with: linux-image-4.19.0-{19..22}-amd64
Does not appear with: linux-image-4.19.0-12-amd64
Not checked with: linux-image-4.19.0-{14..17}-amd64


Hi guys,

I observed a very strange error on Debian Buster (oldstable) that appears only while using the latest kernel images starting from version 4.19.0-19. However employing a rather old kernel image like 4.19.0-12, the problem does not show up. The erratic behavior only happens on boxes running in default mode, but not while running them in rescue mode. The error is reproducible on different machines and can be triggered by using the `groups' command without any argument or the C-Library function `getgroups' in C-code directly. The error is encountered for any user (root/system accounts/non-privileged users) on the system.
Here, you see the example of the `groups' command with and without a strace:


root@box# groups
root groups: cannot find name for group ID 1097573495
1097573495

Additional notes:
While using the `groups' command with arguments, the error does not show up.
The additional, seemingly random GID is not constant. If you run the command in a another (pseudo) terminal, you get a another random number.
The random number does not look like a EGUID of the calling process itself.
The getgroups C-libray call directly ends in the Linux getgroups syscall, so the root cause seems to be in connection with the Linux Kernel.
Maybe, the problem is related to the cgroups subsystem???


Let me know, if this bug has been published in the right place and/or if you need any more details about it.



Regards
Sebastian

Hi

This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.

If you can reproduce it with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Regards,
Salvatore
