--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2017-0d3fdd3d1f
2017-10-24 20:07:54.665530
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name        : glibc
Product     : Fedora 27
Version     : 2.26
Release     : 15.fc27
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 adds support for the IBM858 codepage (RHBZ#1416405). It moves the
`nss_compat` NSS service module to the main glibc package (RHBZ#1400538). As a
security hardening measure, stdio streams are no longer flushed on process
abort/assertion failure (RHBZ#1498880). `/var/db/Makefile` is now included in
the `nss_db` package (RHBZ#1498900). Fixes installation related failures for IBM
z Series (RHBZ#1499260).  Two security fixes for the `glob` function are
provided (CVE-2017-15670, CVE-2017-15671, RHBZ#1504807).  An error in the
`sysconf` function which caused it to return -1 for `_SC_IOV_MAX` has been
corrected (RHBZ#1504165).  The included upstream update from the glibc 2.26
stable branch improves C++ compatibility for ` ` functions and fixes a
memory leak in malloc when thread local caches are in use.
