| Description: | The GNU libc packages (known as glibc) contain the standard C libraries used by applications.
This errata fixes several bugs in the GNU C Library.
Fixes include (in addition to enclosed Bugzilla entries):
- fixed 32-bit atomic operations on 64-bit powerpc - fixed -m32 -I /usr/include/nptl compilation on AMD64 - NPTL should now be usable in C++ code or -pedantic -std=c89 C - rwlocks are now available also in the _POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L namespace - pthread_once is no longer throw(), as the callback routine might throw - pthread_create now correctly returns EAGAIN when thread couldn't be created because of lack of memory - fixed NPTL stack freeing in case of pthread_create failure with detached thread - fixed pthread_mutex_timedlock on i386 and AMD64 - Itanium gp saving fix in linuxthreads - fixed s390/s390x unwinding tests done during cancellation if stack frames are small - fixed fnmatch(3) backslash handling - fixed out of memory behaviour of syslog(3) - resolver ID randomization - fixed fim (NaN, NaN) - glob(3) fixes for dangling symlinks - catchsegv fixed to work with both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries on x86-64, s390x and ppc - fixed reinitialization of _res when using NPTL stack cache - updated bug reporting instructions, removed glibcbug script - fixed infinite loop in iconv with some options - fixed inet_aton return value - CPU friendlier busy waiting in linuxthreads on EM64T and IA-64 - avoid blocking/masking debug signal in linuxthreads - fixed locale program output when neither LC_ALL nor LANG is set - fixed using of unitialized memory in localedef - fixed mntent_r escape processing - optimized mtrace script - linuxthread_db fixes on ppc64 - cfi instructions in x86-64 linuxthreads vfork - some _POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L namespace fixes
All users of glibc should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.
