-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2015-2837 2015-02-28 06:50:35 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : glibc Product : Fedora 21 Version : 2.20 Release : 8.fc21 URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/glibc/ Summary : The GNU libc libraries 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: - Fix CVE-2014-7817 glibc: command execution in wordexp() with WRDE_NOCMD specified - Fix CVE-2014-9402 glibc: denial of service in getnetbyname function - CVE-2015-1472 glibc: heap buffer overflow in glibc swscanf - Fix segfault when LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to non-existent directory. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Feb 27 2015 Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@redhat.com> - 2.20-8 - wordexp fails to honour WRDE_NOCMD (CVE-2014-7817, #1167569). - Avoid infinite loop in nss_dns getnetbyname (CVE-2014-9402, #1175370). - wscanf allocates too little memory (CVE-2015-1472, #1188237). - Fix segmentation fault when LD_LIBRARY_PATH contains only non-existing paths (#1184234). * Tue Jan 6 2015 Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@redhat.com> - 2.20-7 - Remove LIB_LANG since we don't install locales in /usr/lib/locale anymore. - Don't own any directories in /usr/share/locale (#1167445). - Use the %find_lang macro to get the *.mo files (#1167445). - Add %lang tags to language locale files in /usr/share/i18n/locale (#1169044). * Wed Oct 1 2014 Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@redhat.com> - 2.20-6 - Enable lock elision again on s390 and s390x. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1188235 - CVE-2015-1472 glibc: heap buffer overflow in glibc swscanf https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188235 [ 2 ] Bug #1175369 - CVE-2014-9402 glibc: denial of service in getnetbyname function https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1175369 [ 3 ] Bug #1157689 - CVE-2014-7817 glibc: command execution in wordexp() with WRDE_NOCMD specified https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1157689 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
