-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2016-b2dfb591cd 2016-06-06 19:19:12.905997 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : glibc Product : Fedora 23 Version : 2.22 Release : 17.fc23 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:
This updated addresses a minor security vulnerability in the Sun RPC client (CVE-2016-4429), increases compatibility with GCC 6, and addresses a problem which caused `fork` to crash when `BIND_NOW` was used for linking shared objects. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References:
