3. Problem description:

The GNU libc packages (known as glibc) contain the standard C libraries used by applications.

This errata fixes several bugs in the GNU C Library.

Fixes include (in addition to enclosed Bugzilla entries):

- - fixed 32-bit atomic operations on 64-bit powerpc
- - fixed -m32 -I /usr/include/nptl compilation on AMD64
- - NPTL <pthread.h> should now be usable in C++ code or -pedantic -std=c89 C
- - rwlocks are now available also in the _POSIX_C_SOURCE
0112L namespace
- - pthread_once is no longer throw(), as the callback routine might throw
- - pthread_create now correctly returns EAGAIN when thread couldn't be created because of lack of memory
- - fixed NPTL stack freeing in case of pthread_create failure with detached thread
- - fixed pthread_mutex_timedlock on i386 and AMD64
- - Itanium gp saving fix in linuxthreads
- - fixed s390/s390x unwinding tests done during cancellation if stack frames are small
- - fixed fnmatch(3) backslash handling
- - fixed out of memory behaviour of syslog(3)
- - resolver ID randomization
- - fixed fim (NaN, NaN)
- - glob(3) fixes for dangling symlinks
- - catchsegv fixed to work with both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries on x86-64, s390x and ppc
- - fixed reinitialization of _res when using NPTL stack cache
- - updated bug reporting instructions, removed glibcbug script
- - fixed infinite loop in iconv with some options
- - fixed inet_aton return value
- - CPU friendlier busy waiting in linuxthreads on EM64T and IA-64
- - avoid blocking/masking debug signal in linuxthreads
- - fixed locale program output when neither LC_ALL nor LANG is set
- - fixed using of unitialized memory in localedef
- - fixed mntent_r escape processing
- - optimized mtrace script
- - linuxthread_db fixes on ppc64
- - cfi instructions in x86-64 linuxthreads vfork
- - some _POSIX_C_SOURCE
0112L namespace fixes

All users of glibc should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command:

up2date

For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system:
