Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORALEGACY-2004-1947
Bugzilla https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1947

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : glibc
Version     : 2.2.5-44.legacy.3
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:

A security audit of glibc revealed a flaw in the resolver library which
was originally reported as affecting versions of ISC BIND 4.9. This flaw
also applied to glibc versions before 2.3.2. An attacker who is able to
send DNS responses (perhaps by creating a malicious DNS server) could
remotely exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a
denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2002-0029 to this issue.
