Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2024-07597a0fb3
2024-02-01 01:23:37.270537
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : glibc
Product : Fedora 38
Version : 2.37
Release : 18.fc38
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:
Security fix for CVE-2023-6246, CVE-2023-6779, and CVE-2023-6780.
CVE-2023-6246: __vsyslog_internal did not handle a case where printing a
SYSLOG_HEADER containing a long program name failed to update the required
buffer size, leading to the allocation and overflow of a too-small buffer on the
heap. CVE-2023-6779: __vsyslog_internal used the return value of
snprintf/vsnprintf to calculate buffer sizes for memory allocation. If these
functions (for any reason) failed and returned -1, the resulting buffer would be
too small to hold output. CVE-2023-6780: __vsyslog_internal calculated a buffer
size by adding two integers, but did not first check if the addition would
overflow.
