Detail

Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in the GNU C Library, the worst of which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Background

The GNU C library is the standard C library used by Gentoo Linux systems.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the GNU C Library.
Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact

A context-dependent attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, disclose sensitive information, or cause a Denial of Service condition via multiple vectors.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All GNU C Library users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-libs/glibc-2.23-r3"
