Fedora Legacy Test Update Notification
FEDORALEGACY-2005-152848
Bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=152848
2005-09-14
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : glibc
Versions    : rh73: glibc-2.2.5-44.legacy.6
Versions    : rh9: glibc-2.3.2-27.9.7.2.legacy
Versions    : fc1: glibc-2.3.2-101.4.2.legacy
Versions    : fc2: glibc-2.3.3-27.1.1.legacy
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:

Updated glibc packages that address several bugs are now available.

The GNU libc packages (known as glibc) contain the standard C libraries
used by applications.

Flaws in the catchsegv and glibcbug scripts were discovered. A local
user could utilize these flaws to overwrite files via a symlink attack
on temporary files. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0968 and CAN-2004-1382
to these issues.

It was discovered that the use of LD_DEBUG and LD_SHOW_AUXV were not
restricted for a setuid program. A local user could utilize this flaw to
gain information, such as the list of symbols used by the program. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2004-1453 to this issue.

Users of glibc are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages that
remove the unecessary glibcbug script and contain backported patches to
correct these other issues.
