-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-17667 2010-11-12 21:21:48 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : glibc Product : Fedora 14 Version : 2.12.90 Release : 19 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 - Fix memory leak in fnmatch - Support Intel processor model 6 and model 0x2c - Fix comparison in sqrtl for IBM long double - Fix one exit path in x86-64 SSE4.2 str{,n}casecmp (BZ#12205, #651638) - Fix warnings in __bswap_16 (BZ#12194) - Use IFUNC on x86-64 memset - Power7-optimized mempcpy - Handle uneven cache size in 32bit SSE2 memset (BZ#12191) - Verify in ttyname that the symlink is valid (BZ#12167) - Update Danish translations - Fix concurrency problem between dl_open and dl_iterate_phdr - Fix x86-64 strchr propagation of search byte into all bytes of SSE register (BZ#12159) - Fix perturbing in malloc on free (BZ#12140) - PPC/A2 optimized memcpy function - Add C99 FP_FAST_FMA{,F,L} macros to <math.h> - Check that the running kernel is new enough (#649589) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Nov 12 2010 Andreas Schwab <[email protected]> - 2.12.90-19 - Update from master - Fix memory leak in fnmatch - Support Intel processor model 6 and model 0x2 - Fix comparison in sqrtl for IBM long double - Fix one exit path in x86-64 SSE4.2 str{,n}casecmp (BZ#12205, #651638) - Fix warnings in __bswap_16 (BZ#12194) - Use IFUNC on x86-64 memset - Power7-optimized mempcpy - Handle uneven cache size in 32bit SSE2 memset (BZ#12191) - Verify in ttyname that the symlink is valid (BZ#12167) - Update Danish translations - Fix concurrency problem between dl_open and dl_iterate_phdr - Fix x86-64 strchr propagation of search byte into all bytes of SSE register (BZ#12159) - Fix perturbing in malloc on free (BZ#12140) - PPC/A2 optimized memcpy function - Add C99 FP_FAST_FMA{,F,L} macros to <math.h> - Check that the running kernel is new enough (#649589) * Fri Oct 22 2010 Andreas Schwab <[email protected]> - 2.12.90-18 - Require suid bit on audit objects in privileged programs (CVE-2010-3856) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #651638 - Bad x86-64 strncasecmp on Intel Core i7 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=651638 [ 2 ] Bug #649589 - yum should refuse to upgrade core packages if running kernel is lower version then required https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=649589 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
