This update addresses RHBZ#1468837, which caused bash to lack job control in mock chroots. (Note that glibc inside the chroot needs to be upgraded for the fix to be effective.) In additon, two dynamic linker issues where fixed which are not security bugs, but received CVE IDs nevertheless (RHBZ#1524867, CVE-2017-1000408, CVE-2017-1000409).. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2017-828f8a8fc6 2018-01-02 14:45:21.623235 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name : glibc Product : Fedora 27 Version : 2.26 Release : 21.fc27 URL : 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 addresses RHBZ#1468837, which caused bash to lack job control in mock chroots.
