Name : glibc Product : Fedora 18 Version : 2.16 Release : 24.fc18 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: s390[x] updates for newer capabilities Include "sss" in /etc/nsswitch.conf Change error text for ESTALE Increase temporary buffer size to avoid unnecessary DNS lookups FIx gcc_assert failure in _Unwind_SetSpColumn on ppc64 Don't free memory allocated by mempool allocator -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #832694 - ESTALE error text should be reworded https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=832694 [ 2 ] Bug #837695 - glibc sends spurious DNS requests for certain hostnames https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=837695 [ 3 ] Bug #852445 - gcc_assert failure in _Unwind_SetSpColumn() on ppc64 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852445 [ 4 ] Bug #867473 - Always include sss in /etc/nsswitch.conf https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=867473 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
