[Bug 1313450] Re: Unable to start vsftpd on Ubuntu 14.04 (Amazon/EC2 or Xen) with default configuration

 

The problem can occur with any application as stated by Boris Ostrovsky

------------
"This can be easily triggered by Linux' page-types
(tools/vm/page-types.c) after save/restore.

All it does is it walks the page tables (in fs/proc/task_mmu.c) and
eventually trips on bad page. For example:

# /page-types -p 2273 -L> /tmp/new
[ 2634.501440] pfn 0x159f75 highest_memmap_pfn=0x3ffff
[ 2634.502345] BUG: Bad page map in process page-types pte:159f75420
pmd:3178a067
"
Which means that any application should be able to trigger this depending
on whether 'mprotect' was doing its stuff and migration happend.

Please note that these guests have no NUMA information exposed at all.

Title:
  Unable to start vsftpd on Ubuntu 14.04 (Amazon/EC2 or Xen) with
  default configuration

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “vsftpd” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” source package in Trusty:
  Confirmed
Status in “vsftpd” source package in Trusty:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The configuration submitted was modified during testing, but this also
  failed with the default configuration. The only solution I have found
  so far was to delete the configuration, this would allow the service
  to start, but obviously not work as intended.

  If I try to start the service manually using vsftpd or sudo vsftpd I receive the following error message:
  500 OOPS: munmap

  I also tried the default commands
  /etc/init.d/vsftpd or service vsftpd start
