the fix for CVE-2016-3706 introduced a regression that in some
circumstances prevented IPv6 addresses from resolving. This update
reverts the change in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. We apologize for the error.

Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that the GNU C Library incorrectly handled the
 strxfrm() function. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial
 of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected
 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-8982)

 It was discovered that an integer overflow existed in the
 _IO_wstr_overflow() function of the GNU C Library. An attacker could
 use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary
 code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04
 LTS. (CVE-2015-8983)

 It was discovered that the fnmatch() function in the GNU C Library
 did not properly handle certain malformed patterns. An attacker could
 use this to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu
 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-8984)

 Alexander Cherepanov discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the
 glob implementation of the GNU C Library. An attacker could use this
 to specially craft a directory layout and cause a denial of service.
 (CVE-2016-1234)

 Michael Petlan discovered an unbounded stack allocation in the
 getaddrinfo() function of the GNU C Library. An attacker could use
 this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-3706)

 Aldy Hernandez discovered an unbounded stack allocation in the sunrpc
 implementation in the GNU C Library. An attacker could use this to
 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-4429)

 Tim Ruehsen discovered that the getaddrinfo() implementation in the
 GNU C Library did not properly track memory allocations. An attacker
 could use this to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected
 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-5417)

 Andreas Schwab discovered that the GNU C Library on ARM 32-bit
 platforms did not properly set up execution contexts. An attacker
 could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-6323)");
