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

 

A simple test case was created by Steven Noonan to trigger the issue:

Copy the attached code into a file named bugtest.c
Compile with "gcc -o bugtest bugtest.c"
Run ./bugtest  (does not have to be run as root)
If you see no output, bug does not exist; if it does you will immediately see something similar to:

triden@tweety:~$ ./bugtest

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
