Name : glibc Product : Fedora 26 Version : 2.25 Release : 12.fc26 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.
This update addresses various minor issues in the glibc package: * The DNS stub resolver now picks up changes to `/etc/resolv.conf` automatically (RHBZ#1374239). * The DNS stub resolver supports an unlimited number of search domains (RHBZ#168253). * CVE-2015-5180, a segmentation fault potentially affecting applications which use the DNS stub resolver in an unusual way, has been fixed (RHBZ#1251403). * `/var/db/Makefile` is now shipped in the `nss_db` package (RHBZ#1498900). * The IBM858 character set is now supported (RHBZ#1416405). * The `compat` NSS service module is again part of the main glibc package (RHBZ#1400538). * A pointer alignment/endianess issue was fixed in the NSS group merging implementation (RHBZ#1471985). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - References:
