Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2024-846e191001
2024-12-19 04:06:20.748341+00:00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : glibc
Product     : Fedora 41
Version     : 2.40
Release     : 14.fc41
URL         : http://www.gnu.org/software/glibc/
Summary     : The GNU libc libraries
Description :
The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by
multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and
memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is
kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package
contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C
library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a
Linux system will not function.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update addresses a security vulnerability in the getrandom and arc4random
implementation (CVE-2024-12455) on POWER systems (pcpc64le). Other architectures
are not affected.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:

* Sun Dec 15 2024 Florian Weimer  - 2.40-14
- Minor update to getrandom vDSO handshake
* Wed Dec 11 2024 Florian Weimer  - 2.40-13
- CVE-2024-12455: Incorrect getrandom return value on ppc64le
