Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2018-916dfe0d86
2018-05-27 19:30:55.541742
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : glibc
Product : Fedora 28
Version : 2.27
Release : 15.fc28
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 update ensures that valgrind works again without installing glibc debuginfo
packages (RHBZ#1570246). It also addresses a security vulnerability in the
`mempcpy` implementation for the Intel Xeon Phi processors (CVE-2018-11237,
RHBZ#1581275). Furthermore, the switch to libidn2 uses the final upstream
patches (RHBZ#1452750(.
