by multiple programs on the system. Without these libraries, the Linux
system cannot function properly.
Multiple errors in glibc's formatted printing functionality could allow an
attacker to bypass FORTIFY_SOURCE protections and execute arbitrary code
using a format string flaw in an application, even though these protections
are expected to limit the impact of such flaws to an application abort.
(CVE-2012-3404, CVE-2012-3405, CVE-2012-3406)
This update also fixes the following bug:
* A programming error caused an internal array of nameservers to be only
partially initialized when the /etc/resolv.conf file contained IPv6
nameservers. Depending on the contents of a nearby structure, this could
cause certain applications to terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation
fault. The programming error has been fixed, which restores proper behavior
with IPv6 nameservers listed in the /etc/resolv.conf file. (BZ#837026)
All users of glibc are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to fix these issues.");
