medium Nessus Plugin ID 124216

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

This update for glibc fixes the following issues :

Security issue fixed :

- CVE-2016-10739: Fixed an improper implementation of getaddrinfo function which could allow applications to incorrectly assume that had parsed a valid string, without the possibility of embedded HTTP headers or other potentially dangerous substrings (bsc#1122729).

Other issue fixed :

- Fixed an issue where pthread_mutex_trylock did not use a correct order of instructions while maintained the robust mutex list due to missing compiler barriers (bsc#1130045).

- Added new Japanese Era name support (bsc#1100396).

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.

Solution

Update the affected glibc packages.
