The GNU C library defines various Unix-like "system calls" and other
basic facilities needed for a standard POSIX-like application to
operate.

<description>
<p>
Silvio Cesare discovered a potential information leak in glibc. It
allows LD_DEBUG on SUID binaries where it should not be allowed. This
has various security implications, which may be used to gain
confidentional information.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="low">
<p>
An attacker can gain the list of symbols a SUID application uses and
their locations and can then use a trojaned library taking precendence
over those symbols to gain information or perform further exploitation.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
upgrade to the latest available version of glibc.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All glibc users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv your_version
# emerge your_version</code>
</resolution>
