If I read numbers correctly, we all are one minor (very minor ;-) number behind RHEL. > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2015-0235 > > Note that in the openwall.com URL you provided > (http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/01/27/9 ) there is a > simple program (in section 4 - Case Studies) to test whether a given > machine's vulnerable. And when I check the machine with glibc-2.12-1.149.el6_6.4.x86_64 (fully updated CentOS 6) indeed the program from section 4 of openwall page above says "vulnerable". Am I the only one (read: an idiot ;-) or others have the same? Thanks Peter! Valeri > > I dunno what the EOL for C5 patches are, as I don't run it.
