A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.Description: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: Out of bounds write in iconv conversion to ISO-2022-CN-EXT(CVE-2024-2961)* 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.Solution:https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258CVEs:CVE-2024-2961References:https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#importanthttps://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2273404https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2277202https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2277204https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2277205https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2277206Related news
Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-4126-03 - This is release 1.4 of the container images for Red Hat Service Interconnect. Red Hat Service Interconnect 1.4 introduces a service network, linking TCP and HTTP services across the hybrid cloud. A service network enables communication between services running in different network locations or sites. It allows geographically distributed services to connect as if they were all running in the same site.
Google has taken steps to block ads for e-commerce sites that use the Polyfill.io service after a Chinese company acquired the domain and modified the JavaScript library ("polyfill.js") to redirect users to malicious and scam sites. More than 110,000 sites that embed the library are impacted by the supply chain attack, Sansec said in a Tuesday report. Polyfill is a popular library that
