tag_insight = "The glibc packages contain the standard C libraries used by multiple
  programs on the system. These packages contain the standard C and the
  standard math libraries. Without these two libraries, a Linux system cannot
  function properly.

  It was discovered that the glibc dynamic linker/loader did not perform
  sufficient safety checks when loading dynamic shared objects (DSOs) to
  provide callbacks for its auditing API during the execution of
  privileged programs. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate
  their privileges via a carefully-chosen system DSO library containing
  unsafe constructors. (CVE-2010-3856)

  Red Hat would like to thank Ben Hawkes and Tavis Ormandy for reporting this
  issue.

  All users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
  backported patch to correct this issue.";
