patches/packages/glibc-solibs-2.17-arm-16_slack14.1.txz
This package had been missed from the previous set of glibc updates. Thanks
to the3dfxdude on LQ for making me aware of this:-
This update patches a security issue __nss_hostname_digits_dots() function
of glibc which may be triggered through the gethostbyname*() set of
functions. This flaw could allow local or remote attackers to take control
of a machine running a vulnerable version of glibc. Thanks to Qualys for
discovering this issue (also known as the GHOST vulnerability.)
