Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2016-0f9e9a34ce
2016-02-17 14:16:49.021989
——————————————————————————–

Name : glibc
Product : Fedora 23
Version : 2.22
Release : 9.fc23
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.

This updates addresses a critical security vulnerability in the DNS resolver
related to `AF_UNSPEC` queries with `getaddrinfo` (CVE-2015-7547). In addition,
a bug that causes Hesiod lookups to fail with a crash is fixed.
