-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-12470 2009-12-02 04:02:35 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : glibc Product : Fedora 12 Version : 2.11.1 Release : 1 URL : http://sources.redhat.com/glibc/ Summary : The GNU libc libraries Description : The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a Linux system will not function. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update from 2.11 branch - Fix sync_file_range on ppc/ppc64. - Fix getwc* and putwc* on non-wide streams (BZ#10958). - Avoid warnings in CPU_* macros when using const bitsets (BZ#10918). - Fix ranges with multibyte characters as endpoints. - Handle LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE in duplocale (BZ#10969). - Fix _NC_LOCALE_NAME definition (BZ#10968). - Add missing Linux MADV_* definitions (BZ#10972). - Handle running out of buffer space with IPv6 mapping enabled. - Avoid memset warning in one case (#532492). - Restore locking in free_check (#504963). - Fix infloop in __pthread_disable_asynccancel on x86_64 (#537690). - Prevent unintended file desriptor leak in grantpt (#530558). - Fix startup to security-relevant statically linked binaries (#528631). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Dec 14 2009 Andreas Schwab <[email protected]> - 2.11.1-1 - Update to 2.11.1 release. - Locale updates. - Don't reuse RPC XIDs across forks. * Mon Nov 30 2009 Andreas Schwab <[email protected]> - 2.11-4 - Update from 2.11 branch - Fix sync_file_range on ppc/ppc64. - Fix getwc* and putwc* on non-wide streams (BZ#10958). - Avoid warnings in CPU_* macros when using const bitsets (BZ#10918). - Fix ranges with multibyte characters as endpoints. - Handle LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE in duplocale (BZ#10969). - Fix _NC_LOCALE_NAME definition (BZ#10968). - Add missing Linux MADV_* definitions (BZ#10972). - Handle running out of buffer space with IPv6 mapping enabled. - Avoid memset warning in one case (#532492). - Restore locking in free_check (#504963). - Fix infloop in __pthread_disable_asynccancel on x86_64 (#537690). - Prevent unintended file desriptor leak in grantpt (#530558). - Fix startup to security-relevant statically linked binaries (#528631). * Tue Nov 24 2009 Andreas Schwab <[email protected]> - 2.11-3 - Enable multi-arch support for ppc and ppc64 on RHEL-6 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #532492 - how about allowing memset(foo, 0, 0) without warning ? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=532492 [ 2 ] Bug #504963 - heap corruptions in slapd under heavy load https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=504963 [ 3 ] Bug #537690 - Trouble with thread cancellation -- bug in pthread library ? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537690 [ 4 ] Bug #530558 - glibc should close all open file descriptors before exec()-ing pt_chown https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530558 [ 5 ] Bug #528631 - statically linked binary + libc secure mode = segfault https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528631 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
