Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2016-b2dfb591cd
2016-06-06 19:19:12.905997
——————————————————————————–

Name : glibc
Product : Fedora 23
Version : 2.22
Release : 17.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.

Update Information:

This updated addresses a minor security vulnerability in the Sun RPC client
(CVE-2016-4429), increases compatibility with GCC 6, and addresses a problem
which caused `fork` to crash when `BIND_NOW` was used for linking shared
objects.
