Fedora 32: glibc Update FEDORA-2020-d860479b2a Medium Severity

fedora
Calendar Grey July 18, 2020
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Debian Security Patch for OpenSSL addresses moderate risk vulnerability, information on critical encryption libraries disclosed.
This update incorporates fixes from the upstream glibc 2.31 stable release branch, including a fix for a medium severity security vulnerability

Summary

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.

This update incorporates fixes from the upstream glibc 2.31 stable release

branch, including a fix for a medium severity security vulnerability.
