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: A security audit of glibc revealed a flaw in the resolver library which was originally reported as affecting versions of ISC BIND 4.9. This flaw also applied to glibc versions before 2.3.2. An attacker who is able to send DNS responses (perhaps by creating a malicious DNS server) could remotely exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2002-0029 to this issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Changelog: * Thu Sep 30 2004 Dominic Hargreaves <dom@xxxxxxxx> - BuildRequires on texinfo, gettext * Thu Aug 12 2004 Dave Botsch <dwb7@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - Added legacy keyword - Fix CAN-2002-0029 (getnetby{name,addr} buffer overflow) - Uses Michal Jaegermann's rediffed patch from AS2.1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedoralegacy.org/redhat/ 08c9c6aa0cebb8d0ed280dfd3369375bc0fdd0f2 7.3/updates-testing/SRPMS/glibc-2.2.5-44.legacy.2.src.rpm 2abf89e74a49b8dcb5f3f628ea66b18950df3948 7.3/updates-testing/i386/glibc-2.2.5-44.legacy.2.i386.rpm 71341d10531371a5b428ec2c852f1c765d3d9025 7.3/updates-testing/i386/glibc-common-2.2.5-44.legacy.2.i386.rpm 5040054be5f8a5724576134053a70f9d07980f70 7.3/updates-testing/i386/glibc-debug-2.2.5-44.legacy.2.i386.rpm 2c90103b45117d01671ee3f84fdc4ac313eab41b 7.3/updates-testing/i386/glibc-debug-static-2.2.5-44.legacy.2.i386.rpm 0f2743f0034390ca656fb541c5d2af2fa3165cf6 7.3/updates-testing/i386/glibc-devel-2.2.5-44.legacy.2.i386.rpm 07cdc5b3865438f6980607c4dfb3c21b6bbc2d28 7.3/updates-testing/i386/glibc-profile-2.2.5-44.legacy.2.i386.rpm 81f0ed02459debffaadc02214efd0911a05b0028 7.3/updates-testing/i386/glibc-utils-2.2.5-44.legacy.2.i386.rpm 35c609e2d824d67fe7b4f3286fed60f9900f7adb 7.3/updates-testing/i386/nscd-2.2.5-44.legacy.2.i386.rpm Please note that this update is also available via yum and apt through the updates-testing channel.
