Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2018-264d881a62
2018-05-21 14:02:55.441306
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : glibc
Product : Fedora 28
Version : 2.27
Release : 14.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 updates contains various updates from the upstream glibc 2.27 release
branch, including minor fixes for the `realpath` function and the i386 `memmove`
implementation. Python helper scripts in the `glibc-benchtests` subpackage now
use `/usr/bin/python3` as the script interpreter (RHBZ#1577223). Starting with
this update, glibc will no longer re-exec systemd during glibc updates
(RHBZ#1579225).
