The glibc packages provide the standard C libraries (libc), POSIX thread libraries (libpthread), standard math libraries (libm), and the name service cache daemon (nscd) used by multiple programs on the system. Without these libraries, the Linux system cannot function correctly. Security Fix(es): * glibc: Vector register overwrite bug in glibc (CVE-2025-5702) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Red Hat Discovery, also known as Discovery, is an inspection and reporting tool that finds, identifies, and reports environment data, or facts, such as the number of physical and virtual systems on a network, their operating systems, and relevant configuration data stored within them. Discovery also identifies and reports more detailed facts for some versions of key Red Hat packages and products that it finds in the network.

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the GNU C Library's assert() function, affecting the glibc packages used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. These libraries are critical for system functionality, including standard C libraries, POSIX threads, math libraries, and the name service cache daemon. Red Hat has issued a security advisory with an update to address this moderate severity vulnerability.

The glibc packages provide the standard C libraries (libc), POSIX thread libraries (libpthread), standard math libraries (libm), and the name service cache daemon (nscd) used by multiple programs on the system. Without these libraries, the Linux system cannot function correctly. Security Fix(es): * glibc: stack-based buffer overflow in netgroup cache (CVE-2024-33599) * glibc: null pointer dereferences after failed netgroup cache insertion (CVE-2024-33600) * glibc: netgroup cache may terminate daemon on memory allocation failure (CVE-2024-33601) * glibc: netgroup cache assumes NSS callback uses in-buffer strings (CVE-2024-33602) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

The iconv() function in the GNU C Library versions 2.39 and older may overflow the output buffer passed to it by up to 4 bytes when converting strings to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set, which may be used to crash an application or overwrite a neighbouring variable.
