Linux glibc security fix created a nastier Linux bug
https://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-glibc-security-fix-created-a-nastier-linux-bug/
The GNU C Library (glibc) is essential to Linux. So, when something goes
wrong with it, it's a big deal. When a fix was made in early June for a
relatively minor problem, CVE-2021-33574, which could result in
application crashes, this was a good thing. Unfortunately, it turned out
the fix introduced a new and nastier problem, CVE-2021-38604.
