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.

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.

The strcmp implementation optimized for the Power10 processor in the GNU C Library version 2.39 and later writes to vector registers v20 to v31 without saving contents from the caller (those registers are defined as non-volatile registers by the powerpc64le ABI), resulting in overwriting of its contents and potentially altering control flow of the caller, or leaking the input strings to the function to other parts of the program.
