We should probably add two security patches:
* glibc-2.12.1-ld_audit_fix-1.patch
Fixes a security vulnerability and makes LD_AUDIT behave same as
LD_PRELOAD
* glibc-2.12.1-origin_fix-1.patch
Fixes a security vulnerability, described in detail at
http://marc.info/?l=full-
disclosure&m=128739684614072&w=2,
which allows a local attacker to gain root if they can
create a hard link to a setuid root binary.
Both are in the patches repository.
