The GNU C Library (glibc) is essential to Linux. So, when something goes wrong with it, it’s a big deal. When a fix was made in early June for a relatively minor problem, CVE-2021-33574, which could result in application crashes, this was a good thing. Unfortunately, it turned out the fix introduced a new and nastier problem, CVE-2021-38604. It’s always something!
