    Summary: Updated glibc packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: An integer overflow in the implementation of the posix_memalign in memalign functions in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.26 and earlier could cause these functions to return a pointer to a heap area that is too small, potentially leading to heap corruption (CVE-2018-6485, CVE-2018-6551).
