Update description:
Security fix for CVE-2023-4911, CVE-2023-4806, and CVE-2023-4527.
CVE-2023-4911: If a tunable of the form NAME=NAME=VAL is passed in the environment of a setuid program and NAME is valid, it may result in a buffer overflow, which could be exploited to achieve escalated privileges. This flaw was introduced in glibc 2.34.
CVE-2023-4806: When an NSS plugin only implements the _gethostbyname2_r and _getcanonname_r callbacks, getaddrinfo could use memory that was freed during buffer resizing, potentially causing a crash or read or write to arbitrary memory.
CVE-2023-4527: If the system is configured in no-aaaa mode via /etc/resolv.conf, getaddrinfo is called for the AF_UNSPEC address family, and a DNS response is received over TCP that is larger than 2048 bytes, getaddrinfo may potentially disclose stack contents via the returned address data, or crash.
This update contains changes to ELF destructor ordering, improving compatibility with a certain VPN software product.
