CVE-2011-1071 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-1071):
  The GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.12.2 and Embedded GLIBC
  (EGLIBC) allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or
  cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a long UTF8 string that
  is used in an fnmatch call, aka a "stack extension attack," a related issue
  to CVE-2010-2898, CVE-2010-1917, and CVE-2007-4782, as originally reported
  for use of this library by Google Chrome.

Already stable, nothing to do here, just for security tracking purposes.
