Background ========= The GNU C library is the standard C library used by Gentoo Linux systems. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 sys-libs/glibc < 2.11.2-r3 > = 2.11.2-r3 Description ========== Multiple vulnerabilities were found in glibc, amongst others the widely-known recent LD_AUDIT and $ORIGIN issues. For further information please consult the CVE entries referenced below. Impact ===== A local attacker could execute arbitrary code as root, cause a Denial of Service, or gain privileges. Additionally, a user-assisted remote attacker could cause the execution of arbitrary code, and a context-dependent attacker could cause a Denial of Service.
