Description

We should probably add two security patches:

  • glibc-2.12.1-ld_audit_fix-1.patch

Fixes a security vulnerability and makes LD_AUDIT behave same as LD_PRELOAD

  • glibc-2.12.1-origin_fix-1.patch

Fixes a security vulnerability, described in detail at

​http://marc.info/?l=full-disclosure&m=128739684614072&w=2,

which allows a local attacker to gain root if they can create a hard link to a setuid root binary.

Both are in the patches repository.
