Version 2.26.1
+Security related changes:
+
+ CVE-2009-5064: The ldd script would sometimes run the program under
+ examination directly, without preventing code execution through the
+ dynamic linker. (The glibc project disputes that this is a security
+ vulnerability; only trusted binaries must be examined using the ldd
+ script.)
+
The following bugs are resolved with this release:
+ [16750] ldd: Never run file directly.
[21242] assert: Suppress pedantic warning caused by statement expression
[21780] posix: Set p{read,write}v2 to return ENOTSUP
[21871] x86-64: Use _dl_runtime_resolve_opt only with AVX512F
