sshd, ntpd, and yum commands are continually segfaulting

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • Noticing that the sshd binary is segfaulting, as well as calling the initscript to start sshd
/etc/init.d/sshd start
Starting sshd: /etc/init.d/sshd: line 105: 19128 Segmentation fault
(core dumped) $SSHD $OPTIONS
                                                           [FAILED]
  • In addition, when trying to start ntpd, seeing the segmentation fault message:
/etc/init.d/ntpd start
ntpd: Synchronizing with time server:                      [  OK  ]
Starting ntpd: /bin/bash: line 1: 19148 Segmentation fault      (core
dumped) ntpd -u ntp:ntp -p /var/run/ntpd.pid
                                                           [FAILED]
  • Tried re-installing openssh-server from satellite but executing yum reinstall openssh-server also indicates segmentation fault
