This causes bug 804309 where abrt can't report crashes. It thus makes it harder to report and fix other more serious bugs.

Comment 1 Petr Machata 2012-03-21 11:38:59 UTC 
Would you please attach a core dump that reproduces this behavior, if practical?  If it's huge even after compression, would you put it up somewhere on the Internet for us to download?

Comment 3 Mark Wielaard 2012-03-28 10:18:54 UTC 
The garbage is the name of the Dwfl_Module for librt.so which doesn't seem to be zero terminated:

2125	  printf ("%#" PRIx64 "+%#" PRIx64 " ", start, end - start);
2: name = 0x61cd00 "librt.so.\206\004\203\005\002\267\n\303A\306A\307A\305\f\004\004H\vk\n\303A\306A\307A\305\f\004\004A\v"
1: id_len = 20
(gdb) print /x start
$1 = 0xb6865000
(gdb) print /x end
$2 = 0xb686e000
Comment 4 Roland McGrath 2012-03-28 17:26:18 UTC 
The situation is that the .dynstr of librt.so available in the image is truncated, because only the first page of librt.so in the image.  There was a bug in the code that handles an embedded .dynstr so that it wasn't noticing when the image was truncated.  I fixed it with upstream commit 210c2f0.

It should be straightforward to produce a small test case for the test suite, because anything that links in librt.so (or anything else whose .dynstr starts in its first page and ends past it, with the DT_SONAME string crossing that boundary) will produce a core file with this situation.
Comment 5 Mark Wielaard 2012-04-02 22:26:52 UTC 
I added a testcase:

commit 96a52138eab04f24a86c78e8f2af9c74c2d6bfaf
Author: Mark Wielaard <mjw>
Date:   Tue Apr 3 00:21:50 2012 +0200

    Add new run-unstrip-n.sh test for RHBZ#805447 fixed in commit 210c2f.
