Title:
  regression in 2.23-0ubuntu10: rsync in glusterfs's georeplication
  fails

Status in rsync:
  Unknown
Status in rsync package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since somewhere in the Jan 14-18 range my glusterfs georeplication
  reports Faulty. Georeplication uses rsync internally, and tracking
  this this down leads to an exit code 3 out of rsync.

  I have no stacktraces myself, but I found this report about the same
  problem:

  https://www.spinics.net/lists/gluster-users/msg33568.html

  with traces:

  
  strace rsync :

  30743 23:34:47 write(2, "\n", 1)        = 1
  30743 23:34:47 exit_group(3)            = ?
  30743 23:34:47 +++ exited with 3 +++

  
  The Changelog of glibc mentions that getcwd has been changed:

    * SECURITY UPDATE: Buffer underflow in realpath()
      - debian/patches/any/cvs-make-getcwd-fail-if-path-is-no-absolute.diff:
        Make getcwd(3) fail if it cannot obtain an absolute path
      - CVE-2018-1000001

  and downgrading glibc to (2.23-0ubuntu3) indeed fixes my
  georeplication problem. 0ubuntu3 is the latest version that is
  available in the repositories, other than 0ubuntu10.
