All, I need some guidance. The host where we encountered a bug is sitting in a lab environment with no direct Internet access. Below is the output from reportbug with the print-only option. I am filing a bug against glibc 2.36 due to a bug in memcmp-sse2.S that causes fis-gtm to segfault possibly leading to data corruption. There is already a fix in the upstream (see below). I am unsure of how to proceed. I know that I should
create the bug report so that the problem gets fixed, either by patching or adoption of the version with the fix. Should I submit the patch myself? Or should I just wait for the adoption of the latest glibc version, 2.37? Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to improve the quality of my bug report and if I can/should help myself by providing a patch. Thanks!
