-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-15053 2013-08-20 22:21:14 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : glibc Product : Fedora 19 Version : 2.17 Release : 13.fc19 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: glibc security update: CVE-2012-4412 glibc: strcoll() integer overflow leading to buffer overflow CVE-2012-4424 glibc: alloca() stack overflow in the strcoll() interface CVE-2013-1914 glibc: Stack (frame) overflow in getaddrinfo() when processing entry mapping to long list of address structures CVE-2013-2207 glibc (pt_chown): Improper pseudotty ownership and permissions changes when granting access to the slave pseudoterminal CVE-2013-4237 glibc: Buffer overwrite when using readdir_r on file systems returning file names longer than NAME_MAX characters Fix for CVE-2013-2207 may break chroots if their devpts was not mounted correctly. Fix is to mount the devpts correctly with gid=5. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Aug 19 2013 Siddhesh Poyarekar <[email protected]> - 2.17-13 - Fix stack overflow in getaddrinfo with many results (#947892, CVE-2013-1914). * Mon Aug 19 2013 Siddhesh Poyarekar <[email protected]> - 2.17-12 - Disable pt_chown (#984829, CVE-2013-2207). - Fix strcoll flaws (#855399, CVE-2012-4412, CVE-2012-4424). - Fix buffer overflow in readdir_r (#995841, CVE-2013-4237). * Tue Jun 25 2013 Siddhesh Poyarekar <[email protected]> - 2.17-11 - Fix libm performance regression due to set/restore rounding mode (#977887). * Tue Jun 25 2013 Siddhesh Poyarekar <[email protected]> - 2.17-10 - Preserve errno across _PC_CHOWN_RESTRICTED call on XFS (#977870). - Remove PIPE_BUF Linux-specific code (#977872). - Fix FPE in memusagestat when malloc utilization is zero (#977874). - Accept leading and trailing spaces in getdate input string (#977875). * Thu Jun 20 2013 Siddhesh Poyarekar <[email protected]> - 2.17-9 - Set EAI_SYSTEM only when h_errno is NETDB_INTERNAL (#958652). * Tue Jun 4 2013 Jeff Law <[email protected]> - 2.17-8 - Fix ESTALE error message (#966259) * Sun May 5 2013 Patsy Franklin <[email protected]> - 2.17-7 - Fix _nl_find_msg malloc failure case, and callers.
