Subject: Trustix Security Advisory – glibc

Hi

Trustix is, like many other linux distributions, based on Glibc
2.1.3 and is therefore open to the “preload hole” discussed in
various postings to bugtraq and other lists. This is a local
security hole, and all users of TSL should upgrade their boxes.

MD5sums:
1.2:
d69cb9bf4b4e2054eca741b66bea7efe  glibc-2.1.3-14tr.i586.rpm
89dc092c40a710f50461565ad77cd73b  glibc-devel-2.1.3-14tr.i586.rpm
f28b091857fa5819f89a5196d2cd9677  glibc-profile-2.1.3-14tr.i586.rpm
8bbd1a727271cda776377960fd5a5207  nscd-2.1.3-14tr.i586.rpm

1.1:
b3f6874ccafde9ed366eb0f1f91134eb  glibc-2.1.3-14tr.i586.rpm
3432382c84ec6ec850f8c1867b4a0662  glibc-devel-2.1.3-14tr.i586.rpm
a1118708c0420bc80ef62c0a9d10164b  glibc-profile-2.1.3-14tr.i586.rpm
5846041d401e3929cbe09119e22c573f  nscd-2.1.3-14tr.i586.rpm

1.0: Use the 1.1 packages.

1.2 users who have installed the optional SWUP-package (from

can use ‘swup –upgrade’ to automatically download and install the
new packages.
