glibc-2.5-107.0.1.AXS3

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.

Fixed bugs:

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a segmentation fault with the iconv() function if the invalid multibyte character 0xffff is input when converting from IBM930.

• Fixed various transcendentals in non-default rounding modes.

• Fixed the incorrect initialization order for dynamic loader.

• Handle failure of _nl_explode_name in all cases Define the default fuzz factor to 2 to make it easier to manipulate AXS3 RPMs on AXS4 6 and newer systems.

• Does not override TTL of CNAME with TTL of its alias any longer.

• Fixed Slovakia currency.

• Fixed a memory leak in NIS endgrent.

• Fixed race between IO_flush_all_lockp & pthread_cancel.

• Fixed currency_symbol for uk_UA.

• Fixed a race condition between functions which allocated and reclaimed stacks in multi-threaded applications.

• Fixed nscd crash for group with large number of members.

• Does not use PT_IEEE_IP ptrace calls.

Enhancements
