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

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

A local attacker could trigger vulnerabilities in dynamic library loader, making it possible to load attacker-controlled shared objects during execution of setuid/setgid programs to escalate privileges.

A context-dependent attacker could trigger various vulnerabilities in GNU C Library, including a buffer overflow, leading to execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All GNU C Library users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-libs/glibc-2.15-r3"
