 Sounds like a pretty serious one, proof of concept involved an email

Looks like it hasn't affected all distributions. I had updates for
Centos and Raspbian, but nothing for Mint

 As it's in glibc, that seems to me pretty unlikely.

 More likely is either that Mint was already fixed, or Mint have yet
 still to do the fix.


Modern Ubuntu (and thus Mint) was unaffected.

Cheers,

Gentoo has been using safe versions (= 2.18) of glibc even if you've
only been following the stable upgrade path since mid August 2014.

It's quite possible that other distros have been doing the same.
I'll try to remember and check my Mint box when I get home.

Or run ldd --version from the command line.  Anything = 2.18 should
be safe.

Hm, I stand corrected ... and 'find' tends to concur.
