Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2016-b0e67c88b5
2016-05-12 16:11:02.767662
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : glibc
Product : Fedora 23
Version : 2.22
Release : 16.fc23
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 addresses a minor security bug (CVE-2016-3706) and works around a
bug in Address Sanitizer (ASAN) which would cause ASAN-enabled binaries to fail
after the update to glibc-2.22-16.fc23 (Fedora#1335011). Locale updates are
included as well.
