Unless you're building a Frankenstein OS you should never come across a situation where a native FreeBSD binary is linked to glibc. (I'm not even sure it's possible!) Linux uses glibc for their libc reference, we use our own. If you are running native Linux binaries via the linuxulator you will certainly be using glibc for those binaries. Those programs could be vulnerable to glibc issues. _______________________________________________ freebsd-security@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-security-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
