Topic

Updated glibc packages that fix a race condition while loading shared
libraries 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 provide a fix for the following bug:

  • a rarely-encountered and difficult-to-reproduce race condition existed

between resolving dynamic symbols and loading shared libraries that could
have resulted in library dependencies not being resolved. This update
provides a fix that avoids the potential race condition. (BZ#548692)

All users 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
