Type:	Bug Fix Advisory
Severity:	N/A
Issued on:	2007-06-11
Last updated on:	2007-06-11

Details

Updated glibc packages that address several bugs are now available.

The GNU libc packages (known as glibc) contain the standard C libraries
used by applications.

This erratum applies the following fixes in the GNU C Library:

* aio_return fix in librtkaio.

* getgrouplist fix if called with *ngroups == 0.

* non-existent or broken libs from LD_PRELOAD are not considered fatal.

* /etc/ld.so.preload errors are not considered fatal.

* regcomp/regexec fixes for non-UTF-8 multi-byte locales.

* assorted NIS+ client fixes and speedups, including caching of NIS+
servers and DES keys.

* when changing NIS+ servers, touch /var/nis/NIS_COLD_START will
immediately flush the cache, or it will expire after the expiration
timeout specified when setting up the NIS+ servers.

* getent hosts fix for hostnames starting with a digit.

* limit the number of sort iterations in malloc to avoid unsorted block
consolidation taking too much time.

* fix :include: handling for /etc/alias.

* xdrmem_setpos fix for buffers in the middle of address space.

* hasmntopt fix.

* pthread_mutex_timedlock fix on x86_64.

All users of glibc should upgrade to these updated packages, which apply
these fixes.
