Re: [yocto] Does CVE-2015-7547 affect eglibc?

[Darcy Watkins]

Be careful about rushing out fixes. We are observing regressions in software 
triggered by changes in glibc  behaviour.

 I will be interested in knowing which Yocto Project versions will

 Yes this affects all eglibc version 2.9 and newer up to glibc 2.23.

 As far as I'm aware, this affects all Yocto Project versions up to 2.0.

 yes you do. Eglibc was nothing but glibc+few fixes.

Official support is current (in development) and the last two releases.  So up
to about a year and a half of support.

After this point, it becomes community support.  This really means, if someone
in the community wants to continue support past the YP's support guidelines they
are welcome to do so -- but there won't be any official releases, only checkins
to the repository.

We have done this on some OpenSSL fixes in the past, but it was based on
specific requests and people submitting the fixes to be included with older
versions.

Master, 2.0 and 1.8 all have the fixes.
How far back do we go in matters like this?

1.7 (dizzy) I plan on doing soon. beyond that I do not know. those are
all community supported.

Yes this affects all eglibc version 2.9 and newer up to glibc 2.23.

As far as I'm aware, this affects all Yocto Project versions up to 2.0.

[yocto] Does CVE-2015-7547 affect eglibc?

[Darcy Watkins]

Hi,

CVE-2015-7547 glibc vulnerability has been published as affecting glibc
since ver 2.9 (fixed in 2.23 and patched in 2.22 and 2.21).

Anyone know if we need the same security fixes in eglibc?
