Fixed:

Done.

Messages during upgrade looking like this:

ERROR: ld.so: object ‘/usr/lib/libhardened_malloc.so/libhardened_malloc-light.so’ from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

Can be safely ignored. These are fixed right after the upgrade.

This is unavoidable and happening due to above bugfix.

These errors are now resolved thanks to compatibility symlinks and lots of other maintenance fixes in git.

This is now in the testers repository.

Do these stability issues also affect hardened malloc light?

what about using mimalloc? There is a rust implementation.

Some, yes. Please don’t ask for details. → Unsupported.

  • Not branded / known as security enhancing.
  • Microsoft project.

→ Ignoring.

Is glibc so common mainly due to GNU software licensing?

Is there a plan for the Standard C library going forward? Are there any plans

for improving the security?

Wrong place to ask.
