RPM Update Attempt for Sendmail/glibc/etc.. becomes a Chicken or the Egg scenario



Due to the recent announcement of a major exploit in any version of sendmail earlier than 8.12.8, I am attempting to update to the latest sendmail version, on several RH 7.2 & 7.3 systems, but unfortunately, it complains about glibc dependencies, and many other things.. so, I try to update glibc, and it complains about gcc needing the old version, and so on, and so on.. Anyone have any solutions or references on this subject?  Up2date is worthless in this case, since it doesn't have any newer version of Sendmail other than what I already have installed (8.11.6).  These are the errors I get when attempting any sort of update to glibc, beginning with the sendmail rpm update attempt:
