Description Florian Weimer 2016-06-08 07:15:19 UTC 
Currently, libpthread only export recvmsg@GLIBC_2.0, not recvmsg@GLIBC_2.24.  It seems that dlsym can pick this symbol, and applications can call the function with the wrong struct definition as a result.

I suspect a 2.24 version needs to be added to nptl/Versions as well.
Comment 1 Adhemerval Zanella 2016-06-08 14:30:44 UTC 
As Joseph pointed out, this seems likely BZ#14932.  My understanding is libpthread provided old {recv,send}msg only for compatibility reasons, new programs should link against newer one on libc and dlsym should return the new version as well.
Comment 2 Florian Weimer 2016-06-08 19:42:15 UTC 
Okay, let's treat it as a duplicate.

Comment 3 Florian Weimer 2019-07-12 13:18:56 UTC 
I think we should fix this bug (in recvmsg) by removing the forwarder in libpthread.  The fix for bug 24741 enables that.

Fixed in glibc 2.34 via:

    nptl: Remove recvmsg from libpthread
    
    The libc version is identical and built with same flags.
    
    Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
