Description David Walser 2016-08-03 23:55:22 CEST

A security issue introduced in glibc 2.22 was announced on August 2:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/08/02/5

The fix is a simple matter of reverting commit 
2212c1420c92a33b0e0bd9a34938c9814a56c0f7 (apparently Fedora already has).

Mageia 5 is not affected.

Fixed upstream in 2.24:
