GNU C Library 2.37 released

Thursday February 2, 2023. 05:27 PM , from LWN.net
Version
2.37 of the GNU C Library has been released. This looks like a
relatively low-key release, with the one 'major new feature' described as:

The getent tool now supports the --no-addrconfig option. The output
of getent with --no-addrconfig may contain addresses of families
not configured on the current host i.e. as-if you had not passed
AI_ADDRCONFIG to getaddrinfo calls.

There is also a security fix for CVE-2022-39046:

When the syslog function is passed a crafted input
string larger than 1024 bytes, it reads uninitialized memory from the
heap and prints it to the target log file, potentially revealing a
portion of the contents of the heap.

There is more information in the release
notes.
