3. Description:
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: stack-based buffer overflow if the input to any of the printf
family of functions is an 80-bit long double with a non-canonical bit
pattern (CVE-2020-29573)
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.
4. Solution:
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:
