Just FYI please about GHOST glibc Security Vulnerability(not sure if this is posted already) which may help us to secure our systems.
Following are the 2 links on same too from Redhat side.
GHOST is a 'buffer overflow' bug affecting the gethostbyname() and gethostbyname2() function calls in the glibc library. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the application.
Thanks,
