Hi everybody,
Better make sure your Linux distro patches Glibc.

I think Graeme could usefully have added that this is believed to affect
something like glibc 2.9 through 2.22.
I believe that it's possible to get the currently-installed version
number using ldd --version However according to Ulrich Drepper the
official way is to run the library:
$ locate libc.so
/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
..
$ /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
GNU C Library (Debian GLIBC 2.19-18+deb8u2) stable release version 2.19,
by Roland McGrath et al.
..
Compiled on a Linux 3.16.7 system on 2016-01-01.
