Subject: [RHBA-2000:079-03] Glibc bug fixes From: bugzilla@redhat.com Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2000 10:40 -0400 To: redhat-watch-list@redhat.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat, Inc. Bug Fix Advisory Synopsis: Glibc bug fixes Advisory ID: RHBA-2000:079-03 Issue date: 2000-10-09 Updated on: 2000-10-09 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: glibc JDK xmms gethostbyname fscanf gethostid Cross references: N/A --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: This errata fixes a couple of bugs which have been found in the GNU C library 2.1.92 packages. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 7.0 - i686, i386 Red Hat Linux 7.0J - i686, i386 3. Problem description: JDK programs should no longer segfault on startup, xmms should no longer segfault on exit, a compatibility bug with glibc 2.0.x should be fixed in this release as well. ldconfig will be less verbose about stale symlinks if you don't give it -v option (to match behaviour of standalone ldconfig package). A couple of other bugs have been fixed, see bugzilla IDs mentioned below and glibc ChangeLog for details). 4. Solution: For each RPM for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filename] where filename is the name of the RPM. 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info): 6418 - sethostid fails 17019 - gethostbyname call SIGSEGVs 17145 - Mutex locks may be broken. 17267 - glibc 2.1.92 is not binary compatible with glibc 2.0 17723 - crypt.h and unistd.h have conflicting function declarations 17832 - multiple IP addresses in /etc/hosts (for one hostname) cause programs to access /etc/hosts via the usual library functions to segfault 17838 - xmms not closing properly 18049 - Sun's JDK 1.2.2 does not run 18316 - stdio problems with fscanf 6.
