openSUSE Security Update: Security update for glibc ________________________________________________
An update that solves one vulnerability and has two fixes is now available.

Description

This update for glibc fixes the following issues:

Security issue fixed:

- CVE-2016-10739: Fixed an improper implementation of getaddrinfo function

which could allow applications to incorrectly assume that had parsed a

valid string, without the possibility of embedded HTTP headers or other

potentially dangerous substrings (bsc#1122729).

Other issue fixed:

- Fixed an issue where pthread_mutex_trylock did not use a correct order

of instructions while maintained the robust mutex list due to missing

compiler barriers (bsc#1130045).

- Added new Japanese Era name support (bsc#1100396).

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.
