Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2020-1a3bdfde17
2020-01-20 22:48:10.259348
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name : glibc
Product : Fedora 31
Version : 2.30
Release : 10.fc31
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 fixes a minor security vulnerability ([`LD_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC`
not ignored in setuid
binaries](  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1774682) and addresses are
long-standing bug where missing shared objects could cause crashes due to
incorrectly handled `dlopen` failures (RHBZ#1395758). The latter fix also causes
lazy binding failures in ELF constructors and destructors to result in process
termination (the same effect that lazy binding failures have in other contexts),
rather than leaving the process in an inconsistent state. Furthermore, various
issues in the `utmp`/`utmpx` subsystem have been addressed. This update also
includes various minor fixes from the glibc 2.30 upstream stable release branch.
