Thank you for the bug report.

The update has been reverted, please downgrade glibc binary packges to
2.31-0ubuntu9.2 until the new update becomes available.

The problem seems to be caused by the fix for LP: #1914044.

Title:
  stack smashing attack detected in bash host tab completion

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello, this is a speculative bug report at best.

  In some long-lived bash terminals, tab completion of hostnames on ping
  or ssh commands is printing the glibc stack smashing attempt error
  message:

  $ ping goog*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated
  ^C
  $ ssh local*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated
  host ^C

  I installed the glibc update 2.31-0ubuntu9.3
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/focal-changes/2021-April/024256.html
  earlier today. Shells started *after* this update work fine. Shells
  started before this update show this behaviour.
