CVE-2015-0235 How to update eglibc to 2.15-0ubuntu10.10

  • 772

I followed these instructions and found that my glibc version was 2.15-0ubuntu10.9. How do I update it to 2.15-0ubuntu10.10?

It is also mentioned here that services have to be restarted after the update. How do I know which services I have to restart?

12.04

    If you're on 12.04 or 10.04, you don't need to do anything special to upgrade. The usual procedure applies:

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

    Or, specifically:

    sudo apt-get install libc6

    To verify, run apt-cache policy:

    $ apt-cache policy libc6
libc6:
  Installed: 2.15-0ubuntu10.10
  Candidate: 2.15-0ubuntu10.10
  Version table:
 *** 2.15-0ubuntu10.10 0
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.15-0ubuntu10.9 0
        500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 Packages

    The USN notice is more cautious, and given the core nature of libc, I second it:

    After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
