MiracleLinux 4 : glibc-2.12-1.47.AXS4.5 (AXSA:2012-123:02)

high Nessus Plugin ID 284187

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:2012-123:02 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-2009-5029 CVE-2011-4609 No information available at the time of writing, see the links below.
 Fixed bugs:
 - Fixed the groupings and separators for French, Spanish, and German locales.
 - Fixed a race condition in its own malloc routines.

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.
