Package: findutils Version: 4.4.2-4 Severity: normal Tags: upstream
Find appears to consume and not release large amounts of memory when asked to print time directives with custom formatting. ie, %Ak, %Ck and %Tk. The rate of memory consumption appears to correlate with the number of these directives used Observable by running, for eg: # find / -printf "[%y %11s %TY.%Tm.%Td %TH:%TM]\t%p\n" ...and simultaneously 'top' or other memory monitor. Resident size grows without check. With enough files being found, this can grow to trigger an OOM. I've marked this as upstream, as I've since observed the same behaviour on find 4.4.2 in CentOS (as well as in debian derivatives mint and ubuntu) Experimental 4.5 also appears to have the same issue. However 4.2 on an older non-debian system did not have this issue. .../Nemo -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages findutils depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.1.2 ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-8 ii libc6 2.13-24 findutils recommends no packages.
