http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1191338 Bug ID: 1191338 Summary: libc: y2038 bug in 32-bit Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: richard.palethorpe@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Because the kernel has started moving to y2038 safe time values it is causing some regressions in tests e.g. https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1952348#step/cve-2021-26708/8 Because in 32-bit compat mode it is passing time values which are too small. In theory this is a kernel regression. However practically speaking it is more important to only use 64-bit time values in user land. Indeed the plan is to disable 32-bit time values in the 2030s (https://lwn.net/Articles/643407/). AFAICT the solution is to set __TIMESIZE == 64 when building glibc. https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/64_002dbit-time-symbol-ha... Then time values become 64-bit even in 32-bit mode. This change will require all 32bit packages which link against libc to be recompiled. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
