(CVE-2015-5180)
+* CVE-2017-15670: The glob function, when invoked with GLOB_TILDE, suffered
+ from a one-byte overflow during ~ operator processing (either on the stack
+ or the heap, depending on the length of the user name).
+
+* CVE-2017-15671: The glob function, when invoked with GLOB_TILDE,
+ would sometimes fail to free memory allocated during ~ operator
+ processing, leading to a memory leak and, potentially, to a denial
+ of service.
+
+* CVE-2017-15804: The glob function, when invoked with GLOB_TILDE and
+ without GLOB_NOESCAPE, could write past the end of a buffer while
+ unescaping user names. Reported by Tim Rühsen.
+
+* CVE-2017-1000408: Incorrect array size computation in _dl_init_paths leads
+ to the allocation of too much memory. (This is not a security bug per se,
+ it is mentioned here only because of the CVE assignment.) Reported by
+ Qualys.
+
+* CVE-2017-1000409: Buffer overflow in _dl_init_paths due to miscomputation
+ of the number of search path components. (This is not a security
+ vulnerability per se because no trust boundary is crossed if the fix for
+ CVE-2017-1000366 has been applied, but it is mentioned here only because
+ of the CVE assignment.) Reported by Qualys.
+
The following bugs are resolved with this release:
+ [20790] Fix rpcgen buffer overrun

[21209] Ignore and remove LD_HWCAP_MASK for AT_SECURE programs
+ [21265] x86-64: Use fxsave/xsave/xsavec in _dl_runtime_resolve
[21289] Fix symbol redirect for fts_set
[21386] Assertion in fork for distinct parent PID is incorrect
+ [21609] x86-64: Align the stack in __tls_get_addr
[21624] Unsafe alloca allows local attackers to alias stack and heap (CVE-2017-1000366)
+ [21654] nss: Fix invalid cast in group merging
