Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-11-24 17:56:08 UTC 
CVE-2023-5156:

A flaw was found in the GNU C Library. A recent fix for CVE-2023-4806 introduced the potential for a memory leak, which may result in an application crash.

This seems to be the patch, doesn't seem like we have it?

Oops, missed that this was backported into Gentoo a while ago, in particular in 2.37-8:
