An update of the glibc package has been released.

An update of [cracklib,libevent,libgcrypt,httpd,glibc] packages for PhotonOS has been released.

USN-3239-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the GNU C Library. Unfortunately, the fix for CVE-2016-3706 introduced a regression that in some circumstances prevented IPv6 addresses from resolving. This update reverts the change in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. We apologize for the error.

It was discovered that the GNU C Library incorrectly handled the strxfrm() function. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-8982)

It was discovered that an integer overflow existed in the
_IO_wstr_overflow() function of the GNU C Library. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-8983)

It was discovered that the fnmatch() function in the GNU C Library did not properly handle certain malformed patterns.
An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-8984)

Alexander Cherepanov discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the glob implementation of the GNU C Library. An attacker could use this to specially craft a directory layout and cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-1234)

Michael Petlan discovered an unbounded stack allocation in the getaddrinfo() function of the GNU C Library. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-3706)

Aldy Hernandez discovered an unbounded stack allocation in the sunrpc implementation in the GNU C Library. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-4429)

Tim Ruehsen discovered that the getaddrinfo() implementation in the GNU C Library did not properly track memory allocations. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
(CVE-2016-5417)

Andreas Schwab discovered that the GNU C Library on ARM 32-bit platforms did not properly set up execution contexts.
An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2016-6323).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

USN-3239-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the GNU C Library. Unfortunately, the fix for CVE-2015-5180 introduced an internal ABI change within the resolver library. This update reverts the change. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Please note that long-running services that were restarted to compensate for the USN-3239-1 update may need to be restarted again.

Several vulnerabilities have been fixed in the Debian GNU C Library, eglibc :

CVE-2016-1234

Alexander Cherepanov discovered that the glibc's glob implementation suffered from a stack-based buffer overflow when it was called with the GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC flag and encountered a long file name.

CVE-2016-3075

The getnetbyname implementation in nss_dns was susceptible to a stack overflow and a crash if it was invoked on a very long name.

CVE-2016-3706

Michael Petlan reported that getaddrinfo copied large amounts of address data to the stack, possibly leading to a stack overflow. This complements the fix for CVE-2013-4458.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.13-38+deb7u11.

We recommend you to upgrade your eglibc packages.
