-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-16665 2011-12-04 01:48:54 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : glibc Product : Fedora 16 Version : 2.14.90 Release : 21 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: - Don't fail in makedb if SELinux is disabled (#750858) - Fix access after end of search string in regex matcher (#757887) - Drop lock before calling malloc_printerr (#757881) Fixes locking on malloc error paths -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Nov 30 2011 Jeff Law <[email protected]> - 2.14.90-21 - Don't fail in makedb if SELinux is disabled (#750858) - Fix access after end of search string in regex matcher (#757887) * Mon Nov 28 2011 Jeff Law <[email protected]> - 2.14.90-20 - Drop lock before calling malloc_printerr (#757881) * Fri Nov 18 2011 Jeff Law <[email protected]> - 2.14.90-19 - Check malloc arena atomically (BZ#13071) - Don't call reused_arena when _int_new_arena failed (#753601) * Wed Nov 16 2011 Jeff Law <[email protected]> - 2.14.90-18 - Fix grouping and reuse other locales in various locales (BZ#13147) * Tue Nov 15 2011 Jeff Law <[email protected]> - 2.14.90-17 Revert bogus commits/rebasing of Nov 14, Nov 11 and Nov 8.
