GNU C library: Multiple vulnerabilities Multiple vulnerabilities were found in glibc, the worst of which allowing local attackers to execute arbitrary code as root. glibc November 15, 2010 November 15, 2010: 01 285818 325555 330923 335871 341755 local remote 2.11.2-r3 2.11.2-r3

The GNU C library is the standard C library used by Gentoo Linux systems.

Multiple vulnerabilities were found in glibc, amongst others the widely-known recent LD_AUDIT and $ORIGIN issues. For further information please consult the CVE entries referenced below.

A local attacker could execute arbitrary code as root, cause a Denial of Service, or gain privileges. Additionally, a user-assisted remote attacker could cause the execution of arbitrary code, and a context-dependent attacker could cause a Denial of Service.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All GNU C library users should upgrade to the latest version:
