MiracleLinux 4 : glibc-2.12-1.80.AXS4.3 (AXSA:2012-754:05)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 283884

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2012-754:05 advisory.

 The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a Linux system will not function.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2012-3404 CVE-2012-3405 CVE-2012-3406 No description available at the time of writing, please use the CVE links below.
 Fixed bugs:
 If the /etc/resolv.conf file contained IPv6 nameservers, an internal array of nameservers would only be partially initialized and could sometimes cause certain applications to crash. This has been fixed.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
