The GNU C Library version 2.24 is now available

The 2.24 version of the GNU C Library (glibc) has been released. It comes with lots of bug fixes, including five for security vulnerabilities (four stack overflows and a memory leak). Some deprecated features have been removed, as well as deprecating the readdir_r() and readdir64_r() functions in favor of readdir() and readdir64(). There are also additions to the math library (nextup*() and nextdown*()) to return the next representable value toward either positive or negative infinity.
