    An update that solves three vulnerabilities and has 7 fixes is now available.

    Description:

    This update for glibc provides fixes for security and non-security issues.

    These security issues have been fixed:

    - CVE-2015-1781: Buffer length after padding in resolv/nss_dns/dns-host.c.
    (bsc#927080)
    - CVE-2013-2207: pt_chown did not properly check permissions for tty
    files, which allowed local users to change the permission on the files
    and obtain access to arbitrary pseudo-terminals by leveraging a FUSE
    file system. (bsc#830257)
    - CVE-2014-8121: DB_LOOKUP in the Name Service Switch (NSS) did not
    properly check if a file is open, which allowed remote attackers to
    cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by performing a look-up while
    the database is iterated over the database, which triggers the file
    pointer to be reset. (bsc#918187)
    - Fix read past end of pattern in fnmatch. (bsc#920338)

    These non-security issues have been fixed:

    - Fix locking in _IO_flush_all_lockp() to prevent deadlocks in
    applications. (bsc#851280)
    - Record TTL also for DNS PTR queries. (bsc#928723)
    - Fix invalid free in ld.so. (bsc#932059)
    - Make PowerPC64 default to non-executable stack. (bsc#933770)
    - Fix floating point exceptions in some circumstances with exp() and
    friends. (bsc#933903)
    - Fix bad TEXTREL in glibc.i686. (bsc#935286)
