RedHat: RHSA-2019-2118:01 Moderate: glibc security and bug fix update
Summary
The glibc packages provide the standard C libraries (libc), POSIX thread
libraries (libpthread), standard math libraries (libm), and the name
service cache daemon (nscd) used by multiple programs on the system.
Without these libraries, the Linux system cannot function correctly.
Security Fix(es):
* glibc: getaddrinfo should reject IP addresses with trailing characters(CVE-2016-10739)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
page(s) listed in the References section.
Additional Changes:
For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.7 Release Notes linked from the References section.
Summary
Solution
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258
For the update to take effect, all services linked to the glibc library
must be restarted, or the system rebooted.
