  glibc: strstr(): Invalid result if needle crosses page on s390-z15 ifunc 
variant.
  If the specified needle crosses a page-boundary, the s390-z15 ifunc variant of
  strstr truncates the needle which results in invalid results.
  
  Example:
  needle = "Hello" <page-boundary> "World"
  really used needle = "Hello"
  haystack = "abc HelloBug def"
  result = "HelloBug def"
  
  This only happens if the needle before page-boundary contains 9 or less
  characters.
  
  See upstream-glibc bugzilla "Bug 25226 - strstr: Invalid result if needle 
crosses page on s390-z15 ifunc variant."
  (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25226)
  
  Fixed with upstream-glibc commit "S390: Fix handling of needles crossing a 
page in strstr z15 ifunc-variant. [BZ #25226]"
  
(https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=bfdb731438206b0f70fe7afa890681155c30b419)
  
  Please backport this commit to Ubuntu 19.10, which includes glibc 2.30
  
  Already backported to upstream-glibc-release-branch-2.30:
  
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=f4419b0d0181da28f18cba40068f2e75300f5020
  
  glibc 2.31 (tentativ GA 2020-02-01) will have this fix integrated.
- If this version will not be picked finally, than this fix is also needed for 
20.04
+ If this version will not be picked finally, then this fix is also needed for 
20.04
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * glibc builds and passes testsuite, as the commit to backport includes
+ comprehensive testsuite for the problem in question in the glibc api.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * Fix released in focal, and available from stable upstream branches.
+  * all autopkgtests will be triggered, implying that comprehensive test 
coverage will execute on all architectues.
