Kubernetes Events Input Segfault

[Evesy]

Bug Report

Describe the bug
Running the kubernetes_events input eventually results in a seg fault

To Reproduce
Cannot yet reliably reproduce, but we see seg faults every few hours with the below config:

[SERVICE]
    Flush                      1
    Grace                      5

Expected behavior
Fluent-bit should not crash

Your Environment

• Version used: 3.1.9
• Configuration: See above
• Environment name and version (e.g. Kubernetes? What version?): GKE v1.30.5-gke.1014001
• Container Image: bitnami/fluent-bit:3.1.9
• Operating System and version: Google COS VERSION=113 BUILD_ID=18244.151.27
• Filters and plugins:

Additional context
We have other fluent bit instances using identical configuration, except other inputs instead of kubernetes_events and we are yet to see any seg faults on those

[patrick-stephens]

I notice you're using a Bitnami image - does it happen with the actual image we produce here for OSS?

[Evesy]

I will switch to fluent/fluent-bit:3.1.9 and see if it also happens in that image. Will close this off if I don't see any reoccurrence

[HaveFun83]

We saw the same error but we are also on bitnami images

[Evesy]

I've been running fluent/fluent-bit:3.1.9 over the weekend and can see it's segfaulted ~5 times. Happy to try and grab more information, whatever would be useful
