Description

In glib-2.86.4, a bug was found with glibc-2.43 where the setlocale pointer is unsafely cached in some cases and it leads to memory corruption.

A patch is now available here: ​https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/5035

Details on the bug can be found at ​https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33899 and ​https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/3895

Bruce has approved me inserting the patch into BLFS 13.0 so I will do so and then begin testing the affected packages. The thread on blfs-dev starting with ​https://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/sympa/arc/blfs-dev/2026-02/msg00046.html has significantly more details
