Summary
Security update for glibc
Details

glibc was updated to fix bugs and security issues.

Security issues fixed:

  • A buffer overflow in nss_dns was fixed that could lead to crashes. (CVE-2015-1781, bsc#927080, BZ #18287)
  • A denial of service attack (out of memory) in the NSS files backend was fixed (CVE-2014-8121, bsc#918187, GLIBC BZ #18007)

Non security bugs fixed:

  • Fix regression in threaded application malloc performance (bsc#915955, GLIBC#17195)
  • Fix read past end of pattern in fnmatch (bsc#920338, GLIBC#17062, GLIBC#18032, GLIBC#18036)
  • Record TTL also for DNS PTR queries (bsc#928723, GLIBC#18513)
  • Increase MINSIGSTKSZ and SIGSTKSZ for aarch64 (bsc#931480, GLIBC#16850)
  • Fix handling of IPv6 nameservers (bsc#939211, GLIBC#13028, GLIBC#17053)
  • Avoid use of asm/ptrace.h (bsc#934084)
  • Do not corrupt the top of a threaded heap if top chunk is MINSIZE (GLIBC#18502)
  • Terminate unwinding after makecontext_ret on s390 (bsc#940332. bsc#944494, GLIBC#18508)
  • Restore signal mask in set/swapcontext on s390 (bsc#940195, bsc#944494, GLIBC#18080)
  • fix dlopen in static binaries (bsc#937853, GLIBC#17250)
  • Properly reread entry after failure in nss_files getent function (bsc#945779, BZ #18991)

Features added:
