Summary
Updated glibc packages fix security vulnerabilities
Details

Updated glibc packages fix security vulnerabilities:

An issue in the code handling RPATHs was fixed that could have been exploited by an attacker to execute code loaded from arbitrary libraries (CVE-2017-16997).

A privilege escalation bug in the realpath() function when the getcwd() system call doesn't return a valid absolute pathname (CVE-2018-1000001).

Also, support for the C.UTF-8 locale has been added in the locales package.
