r/linux_gaming on Reddit: The glibc 2.41 update has been causing problems for Linux gaming
February 14, 2025 - 1.20.3 came before the broken glibc, so it just couldn't. There's an an issue opened on GitHub, so devs are aware of this and probably will fix it in the next update/patch.

Critical security flaw: glibc stack-based buffer overflow in getaddrinfo() (CVE-2015-7547) - Red Hat Customer Portal
This issue has been rated as having Critical impact by Red Hat Product Security. In a default libresolv configuration, the UDP-based vector is mitigated by using a trusted, protocol-compliant DNS resolver on a trusted network. A compliant resolver will not produce the kind of oversized responses which are necessary to exploit this vulnerability because by default, the glibc resolver does not enable EDNS0 and does not request large responses.

It is often possible to compile up a fresher libc, and have one piece of software use a different library to everyone else.
The biggest painpoint between libc versions is thread local storage, IIRC. If you're passing this milestone, all bets are off.
Having said all that - I would strongly recommend that you simply upgrade the distro to something modern. Doing piecemeal upgrades is likely to lead to the sort of pain that has you chasing your tail for months.

You can refer to the compatibility table to determine binary-compatible versions.
Usually it's not a problem to upgrade glibc to a newer version, but you should build it with the same configuration flags as used in your distribution (see spec file in the appropriate SRPM package).

This Shit Is Hard: Hardening glibc
August 20, 2025 - Our engineers were able to obtain a stack trace of the crash, but unfortunately, it did not provide much information about what was going on. We decided to revert the introduction of the hardened flags when compiling glibc until we could fully understand the issue.

r/HPC on Reddit: How to solve GLIBC version incompatible issue?
January 17, 2023 -
The following error is throwed when I run deno on a Centos 7 hpc cluster,
/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.18' not found
Most solutions I found on the internet is either use container or some complicated setup. I know that I could workaround this problem by building a singularity container. But I am just wondering is there any easier way to fix this problem, for example, by creating a environment module to override the default libc.so?

You could try an older version of deno and other libraries until you find a combination that works.

April 3, 2025 - glibc actually goes to a fair bit of effort to be compatible with old binaries unlike most of the rest of the Linux userspace. The binaries I built for my side project back in 2015 (BlastEm 0.3.0) still work fine on modern Linux and they dynamically link against glibc.

Even if you're not allocating memory directly, it happens under the hood in vector code and you most likely corrupted some portion of memory by writing where you are not supposed to. The most likely reasons I can think of are:
- Writing to an element that is out of bounds
- Using a pointer/reference to an element that is no longer valid -- note that inserting more elements can invalidate earlier references
Of course, I can't say for sure unless you post some relevant code. Or try using valgrind to find the source of the problem.

This means you called free on a non valid pointer (ie: a pointer not allocated via malloc, or that you already freed).
Paste some code, else it's impossible to say why this happens.
