[slackware-security]  glibc (SSA:2012-244-01)

New glibc packages are available for Slackware 13.1, 13.37, and -current to
fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 13.37 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/glibc-2.13-i486-6_slack13.37.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Patched multiple integer overflows in the strtod, strtof, strtold, and
  strtod_l functions in stdlib in the GNU C Library allow local users to
  cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute
  arbitrary code via a long string, which triggers a stack-based buffer
  overflow.
  For more information, see:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-3480
  (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/glibc-i18n-2.13-i486-6_slack13.37.txz:  Rebuilt.
patches/packages/glibc-profile-2.13-i486-6_slack13.37.txz:  Rebuilt.
patches/packages/glibc-solibs-2.13-i486-6_slack13.37.txz:  Rebuilt.
patches/packages/glibc-zoneinfo-2.13-noarch-6_slack13.37.txz:  Rebuilt.
