[Bug 1523280] [NEW] ModemManager dies (core dump) on free() call

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:


Hi.

With latest update, something changed, and now ModemManager is dying
with SIGSEGV in free() call. Since it is configured as "respawn" in
upstart scripts, it's clogging syslog, and adding additional load on cpu
- it's restarting quite fast.

What is expected:

That modem manager is running.

What happened:

The modemmanager process is fast re-spawning and dying every time,
clogging syslog and adding to cpu load.


Package info:

Version is 1.0.0-2ubuntu1.1, running on latest 14.04.01
(3.13.0-71-generic, #114), 64bit arch.


Additional info:

I'm experiencing this on at least two machines, with similar hardware
(same 3G modem), different other stuff. This did not happen before last
update - i think!

WORKAROUND!

ModemManager works by disabling free check. THIS IS DANGEROUS, since it
can have other. To do this, start ModemManager with "MALLOC_CHECK_"
environment set to 0.
