Summary0000489: glibc 2.3.4-125 Segmentation Fault on AlmaLinux 9.5
DescriptionI have a platform on Zen 4.

I was unable to install AlmaLinux 9.5 from iso, so I've tried 9.1 and 9.4 and trying to upgrade. It always ended with Segmentation fault, and even kernel was not correctly upgraded because of that.

After some research I've found out that it is caused by glibc. After glibc 2.3.4-125 is installed, it is giving Segmentation fault for python and several more things.

This might be connected with https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=295802 or https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30994

It makes impossible to install CloudLinux in any possible way as well, because when glibc is upgraded nothing is working good, and if I packagelock glibc there are dependencies issues.
Steps To Reproducednf install glibc

I have seen this issue with 10 Kitten. Unforturately, 9.5's glibc has been updated to the version which have the same issue with 10 kitten. Now we have a fix for the issue and fixed version will be released soon.

However, recovery is the issue if glibc has once updated to the broken version.
