eglibc (2.13-7) unstable; urgency=low

  Starting with version 2.13, eglibc provides an SSSE3 optimized version
  of memcpy() on the amd64 architecture. This version might copy memory
  backward in some conditions, which causes issues if the source and
  destination overlap. memmove() should be used in such cases, but some
  programs still wrongly use memcpy().

  For this reason, on the amd64 architecture the Debian package provides
  two wrappers which can be use to workaround and/or debug the issue:
  - /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc/memcpy-preload.so simply replace all
    calls to memcpy() by a call to memmove()
  - /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc/memcpy-syslog-preload.so does the same,
    but in addition logs (with rate limit) the issue to syslog, so that it
    can be detected and fixed.

  To use these wrapper on a single binary, the easiest way is to use the
  LD_PRELOAD environment variable:
  - LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc/memcpy-preload.so /path/to/binary
  - LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc/memcpy-syslog-preload.so /path/to/binary

  For system-wide usage, it is possible to add the path of one of the
  wrapper to /etc/ld.so.preload.
