Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
The glibc packages provide the standard C libraries (libc), POSIX
thread libraries (libpthread), standard math libraries (libm), and the
name service cache daemon (nscd) used by multiple programs on the
system. Without these libraries, the Linux system cannot function
correctly.
Security Fix(es) :
* glibc: realpath() buffer underflow when getcwd() returns relative
path allows privilege escalation (CVE-2018-1000001)
* glibc: Buffer overflow in glob with GLOB_TILDE (CVE-2017-15670)
* glibc: Buffer overflow during unescaping of user names with the ~
operator (CVE-2017-15804)
* glibc: denial of service in getnetbyname function (CVE-2014-9402)
* glibc: DNS resolver NULL pointer dereference with crafted record
type (CVE-2015-5180)
* glibc: Fragmentation attacks possible when EDNS0 is enabled
(CVE-2017-12132)
