Recommended update for glibc
SUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for glibc
This update for the GNU Libc library resolves the following
issues:
* The system math library (GNU libm) accidentally
missed two symbols, pow10 and pow10f (which are aliases for
exp10 and exp10f) on x86_64. Hence, linking programs using
those functions fails.
* The function sin(), from the system math library (GNU
libm), could return a domain error when the argument is a
small number.
* On x86, the function pthread_cond_timedwait
interpreted the timeout parameter as relative time, whereas
it is supposed to be an absolute time value.
* In some situations the name resolver sent out AAAA
(IPv6) queries even though the system doesn't have any IPv6
interfaces.
