    Problem type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2010-3847 CVE-2010-3856

    Colin Watson discovered that the update for stable relased in
    DSA-2122-1 did not complete address the underlying security issue in
    all possible scenarios.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.7-18lenny7.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
    (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

    We recommend that you upgrade your glibc packages.
