The remote host is missing an update for the 'glibc' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. The glibc packages provide the standard C and standard math libraries used by multiple programs on the system. An integer overflow flaw was found in the implementation of the printf functions family. All users of glibc are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a patch to resolve this issue

  of such flaws to an application abort. (CVE-2012-0864)
