Advisory ID: RHBA-2002:116-03

---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
Updated glibc packages are available which fix various bugs discovered in
the GNU C library that shipped with Red Hat Linux 7.3.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386, i686
3. Problem description:
The return value of the nice(2) function was not complying to standards
in certain cases.
Additionally, the default versions of the get*ent_r functions (like
gethostent_r) were mistakenly not exported from libc.so for application use.
There was also a bug in the 64bit signed modulo helper routine in libc,
which would usually be overridden in the libgcc.a implementation but could
be called in rare cases.
Some additional problems have been detected with the partially sanitized
kernel headers for userland usage which have also been addressed by this
errata.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):
65612 - wrong results from __moddi3
65695 - incorrect implementation of __moddi3 in libc-2.2.5.so
66278 - libs6.so has no symbols
64641 - /usr/include/asm/msr.h gone missing...
65076 - /usr/include/asm/timex.h includes asm/msr.h
63620 - error in kernel headers (or in gcc compiler)

You can verify each package with the following command:
rpm --checksig <filename>
If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or
tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
rpm --checksig --nogpg <filename>
