Perhaps you were asking about previously installed packages linked
against a vulnerable libc, for example? Again, those packages remain
vulnerable, until you upgrade to the new version, that links against the
fixed libc.
Why can't the already-installed binaries run a new shared libc version?
Are you using static linking?
