"Updated glibc packages that fix one security issue and two bugs are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Critical
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the
CVE link in the References section.

The glibc packages provide the standard C libraries (libc), POSIX
thread libraries (libpthread), standard math libraries (libm), and the
Name Server Caching Daemon (nscd) used by multiple programs on the
system. Without these libraries, the Linux system cannot function
correctly.

A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the way the libresolv
library performed dual A/AAAA DNS queries. A remote attacker could
create a specially crafted DNS response which could cause libresolv to
crash or, potentially, execute code with the permissions of the user
running the library. Note: this issue is only exposed when libresolv
is called from the nss_dns NSS service module. (CVE-2015-7547)

This issue was discovered by the Google Security Team and Red Hat.

This update also fixes the following bugs :

* The dynamic loader has been enhanced to allow the loading of more
shared libraries that make use of static thread local storage. While
static thread local storage is the fastest access mechanism it may
also prevent the shared library from being loaded at all since the
static storage space is a limited and shared process-global resource.
Applications which would previously fail with 'dlopen: cannot load any
more object with static TLS' should now start up correctly.
(BZ#1291270)

* A bug in the POSIX realtime support would cause asynchronous I/O or
certain timer API calls to fail and return errors in the presence of
large thread-local storage data that exceeded PTHREAD_STACK_MIN in
size (generally 16 KiB). The bug in librt has been corrected and the
impacted APIs no longer return errors when large thread-local storage
data is present in the application. (BZ#1301625)

All glibc users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain backported patches to correct these issues."
