@Toolchain, I'm creating a tracker for this CVE, could you please confirm if glibc is affected by any of the other two CVEs?

Thank you

None so far, only our git repo... 

I'll add the info as soon as I make a revbump.

I suspect that this has been introduced in -r9?

Comment 8 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2017-11-29 12:01:33 UTC
All vulnerable versions are masked. No further cleanup (toolchain package). 
Nothing to do for toolchain here anymore.
