[slackware-security] glibc

New glibc packages are available for Slackware 13.1, 13.37, and -current to
fix security issues.

Here are the details from the Slackware 13.37 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/glibc-2.13-i486-6_slack13.37.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched multiple integer overflows in the strtod, strtof, strtold, and
strtod_l functions in stdlib in the GNU C Library allow local users to
cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute
arbitrary code via a long string, which triggers a stack-based buffer
overflow.
For more information, see:
https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2012-3480
(* Security fix *)
patches/packages/glibc-i18n-2.13-i486-6_slack13.37.txz: Rebuilt.
patches/packages/glibc-profile-2.13-i486-6_slack13.37.txz: Rebuilt.
patches/packages/glibc-solibs-2.13-i486-6_slack13.37.txz: Rebuilt.
patches/packages/glibc-zoneinfo-2.13-noarch-6_slack13.37.txz: Rebuilt.
