Name : glibc Product : Fedora 14 Version : 2.12.90 Release : 17 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: - Implement accurate fma (BZ#3268, #43358) - Fix alignment of AVX save area on x86-64 (BZ#12113) - Fix regex memory leaks (BZ#12078) - Improve output of psiginfo (BZ#12107, BZ#12108) - Don't return NULL address in getifaddrs (BZ#12093) - Fix strstr and memmem algorithm (BZ#12092, #641124) - Don't discard result of decoding ACE if AI_CANONIDN (#636642) - Never expand $ORIGIN in privileged programs (#643306, CVE-2010-3847) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #643306 - CVE-2010-3847 glibc: ld.so insecure handling of $ORIGIN in LD_AUDIT for setuid/setgid programs https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=643306 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
