[SECURITY] Fedora 33 Update: glibc-2.32-6.fc33
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2021-2ba993d6c5
2021-05-22 01:07:28.002865
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : glibc
Product : Fedora 33
Version : 2.32
Release : 6.fc33
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 glibc update contains a fix for a double-free in the nscd netgroup cache,
and improves debugging information by: * not removing debugging information
from ld.so * adjusting to changes in rpm in order to keep stripping debugging
information from binaries * removing a conflict between contents of 32 and 64
bit debuginfo packages so they can remain installed simultaneously on a system
