We are using grpc 1.4.7 and application was working fine. We upgraded to grpc 1.67.1 and facing application crash on startup.

Used below commands to build grpc 1.4.7 earlier
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../release ../..
make
make check
make install
To build grpc 1.67.1, below mentioned commands are used :-
cmake3 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../release ../..
make
make check
make install

Made the code changes in the libprotobuf.cmake and libprotobuf-lite.cmake files by setting CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET flag from hidden to default and compiled the static libraries with all the symbols exported.
    Compilation was successful but still getting the same error as above.
 
Compiled GRPC libraries with the compiler flag -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks and also compiled OpenSSL libraries shipped with the grpc third party code. But still the problem remains same.
cmake3 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DgRPC_CARES_PROVIDER=module -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../release ../..

Referred : #38158 but didn't get any solution.

Make sure you include information that can help us debug (full error message, exception listing, stack trace, logs).

See TROUBLESHOOTING.md for how to diagnose problems better.
