RHBA-2010:0306 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
glibc bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated glibc packages that fix several bugs and add an enhancement are
now available.
Description
The glibc packages contain the standard C libraries used by multiple
programs on the system. These packages contain the standard C and the
standard math libraries. Without these two libraries, the Linux system
cannot function properly.
This update applies the following bug fixes:
- a race condition with seteuid() occured between the threads that run on
starting the program, presenting the error "EUID is already set!" within
10 to 15 seconds. These updates provide exclusive processes running with
no error on startup. (BZ#491995 and BZ#522528)
- assembler implementation of sem_timedwait() on x86/x86_64 wrongly
decrements the number of waiting threads stored in block of memory pointed
to by (sem_t *) when an invalid nanosecond argument is used. This fix
allows the correct nanosecond argument to be passed through the second
argument. (BZ#529997)
- a race condition in glibc, between _dl_lookup_symbol_x() and
dlopen/dlclose/etc, resulted in a failure in resolving dependencies. These
updates provide for processes that are exclusive. (BZ#547631)
This update also adds the following enhancement:
- glibc: incorporates a number of tests to detect corruption in data
structures used for heap memory allocation (malloc/free). This corruption
can be caused deliberately by attackers exploiting buffer overflow
vulnerabilities. This enhancement provides additional corruption tests.
(BZ#530107)
All users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
these issues and adds this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
