[Solved] GHOST vulnerability affects Salix OS?

Post by icaroperseo »

Recently there has been much bewilderment about the GHOST vulnerability. Some news feeds indicate that glibc 2.18 and lower are vulnerable. Because of this two questions arise me:

GHOST vulnerability affects Salix OS? In my system slapt-get indicates that the package glibc is excluded, do I need to follow a special procedure in case there is an update?

(For all I know Slackware already launched the corresponding patches and my system have no recently appeared new updates.)

Thanks in advance...

The glibc package has already been updated (by slackware). Just install it with:

Code: Select all

sudo slapt-get -u
sudo slapt-get -i glibc
