Package: liblog4cxx10 Version: 0.10.0-1 Severity: normal In a multithreaded program, POSIX signals are sent to an arbitrary thread that hasn't blocked them via sigprocmask(). This means that when it matters which thread gets the signal -- for instance, if sigwait() is being used to serialize signals -- the program must ensure that every other thread has blocked the signal in question. Otherwise, the signal might be delivered to the wrong thread and lost.
liblog4cxx automatically starts threads sometimes, and it doesn't adjust their thread masks. It really should block out every signal that it isn't interested in itself, so that programs using sigwait() can also use log4cxx. See also #547212.
