Description D'juan McDonald (domhnall) 2019-02-04 18:56:38 UTC
(https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-7309):

In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.29, the memcmp function for the x32 architecture can incorrectly return zero (indicating that the inputs are equal) because the RDX most significant bit is mishandled.

@maintainter(s): master branch for 2.27 was updated [ Mon Feb 4 08:55:52 2019 ],
via 2ebadb6451eda1d518d70e26cf4ceeb0362e2456.

Resetting sanity check; package list is empty or all packages are done.
