Topic

Updated glibc packages that fix a bug are now available.

Description

The glibc packages contain the standard C libraries used by multiple
programs on the system. These packages contains the standard C and the
standard math libraries. Without these two libraries, the Linux system
cannot function properly.

These updated glibc packages fix the following bug:

  • previous versions of glibc coded the malloc() function in a way that was

not thread-safe, which could have led to unexpected program crashes in some
cases. With these updated packages, the malloc() code has been revised to
ensure better thread safety, as well as to adhere to C standards. (BZ#502901)

All users of glibc are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
