-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-15317 2010-09-27 20:04:24 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : glibc Product : Fedora 14 Version : 2.12.90 Release : 14 URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/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 master - Add two forgotten licence exceptions - getdents64 fallback d_type support - Move freeres function from ld.so to libc.so - Undo feature selection for ftruncate (BZ#12037) - Fix namespace pollution in pthread_cleanup_push - Fix limit detection in x86-64 SSE2 strncasecmp (#632560) - Add support for fanotify_mark on sparc32 and s390 - Fix register conflict in s390 ____longjmp_chk (#629970) - Don't try to free rpath strings allocated during startup (#629976) - Actually make it possible to user the default name server - Fix memory leak on init/fini dependency list (#632936) - Fix handling of collating symbols in regexps (BZ#11561) - Don't parse %s format argument as multibyte string (BZ#6530) - Fix overflow in nss files parser - Fix spurious nop at start of __strspn_ia32 - Don't try to write to _rtld_global_ro after performing relro protection (#638091) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #632560 - strncasecmp fails sometimes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=632560 [ 2 ] Bug #629970 - can't build glibc-2.12.90-8 on s390x - endless loop on tst-longjmp_chk2 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629970 [ 3 ] Bug #629976 - valgrind claims "Invalid free() ... below main" https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629976 [ 4 ] Bug #632936 - memory leak at dlopen/dlclose reported by valgrind https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=632936 [ 5 ] Bug #638091 - Kernel panic at boot after glibc update https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638091 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
