It says "sysadmins should prioritise patching", but... has it been patched yet?
Just like…make a patch. It’s not that hard lol /j
To show you the power of Flex Tape, I sawed this library in half!
Yes, most of the major distributions have package updates with the fix. A few people have mentioned updates for Arch, Debian, and RedHat already.
Ubuntu released an update yesterday as well:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/2.35-0ubuntu3.4
Ubuntu derivatives such as Pop!_OS should have also received this update, along with the X11 patches.
