glibc for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server AUS (v. 6.4)

Latest response

Hi RedHat team,
With regard to "GHOST: glibc vulnerability (CVE-2015-0235)"
I could not find glibc package for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server AUS (v. 6.4), which is glibc-2.12-1.107.el6_4.7.x86_64.rpm

[root@REDHAT ~]# rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.12-1.107.el6.x86_64
[root@REDHAT ~]# rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.12-1.107.el6.x86_64
[root@REDHAT ~]# uname -a
Linux REDHAT.mil.hive.com 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jan 29 11:47:41 EST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I can only see Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) packages, which are listed below:

glibc-2.12-1.149.el6_6.5.x86_64 The GNU libc libraries
glibc-common-2.12-1.149.el6_6.5.x86_64 Common binaries and locale data for glibc
glibc-debuginfo-2.12-1.149.el6_6.5.x86_64 Debug information for package glibc
glibc-debuginfo-common-2.12-1.149.el6_6.5.x86_64 Debug information for package glibc
glibc-devel-2.12-1.149.el6_6.5.x86_64 Object files for development using standard C libraries.
glibc-headers-2.12-1.149.el6_6.5.x86_64 Header files for development using standard C libraries.
glibc-static-2.12-1.149.el6_6.5.x86_64 C library static libraries for -static linking.
glibc-utils-2.12-1.149.el6_6.5.x86_64 Development utilities from GNU C library

Can I use these instead?
Many thanks

Hi Ben,

Your account doesn't have access to the AUS or EUS channels, these are paid add-ons to the regular RHEL Server entitlement. You have access to the main RHEL Server channel.

Yes, you can use the packages in the main server channel to mitigate the GHOST vulnerability. You should be able to yum update glibc* and reboot.

Regards,
Jamie

Hello Jamie,
How We might purchase these paid add-ons to the regular RHEL Server entitlement?
(We have RHEL 6.2 and applications in our service require from us to continue using it)

Please contact Red Hat Sales for add-on entitlements.

Please note that RHEL 6.2 EUS has ended as of Jan 2014, no more updates are being provided for 6.2. Details are provided on the product lifecycle page.
