Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Revert change from -6 which filtered out GLIBC_PRIVATE symbols. Not appropriate for an update release.

Check values from TZ file header (#767696) Convert tzdata-update to lua (#743034) Mark __clone as .cantunwind (#749556) Update to 2.24.1 release Correctly reparse group line after enlarging the buffer (#739360) Avoid race between {,de}allocate_stack and reclaim_stacks during fork

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected glibc package.
