    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.
