libc6 2.15-0ubuntu10.13 doesn't mark reboot-required

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

eglibc (2.19-0ubuntu6.7) trusty-security; urgency=medium

  * SECURITY UPDATE: glibc getaddrinfo stack-based buffer overflow
    - debian/patches/any/CVE-2015-7547-pre1.diff: fix memory leak in
      resolv/nss_dns/dns-host.c.
    - debian/patches/any/CVE-2015-7547-pre2.diff: fix memory leak in
      include/resolv.h, resolv/gethnamaddr.c, resolv/nss_dns/dns-canon.c,
      resolv/nss_dns/dns-host.c, resolv/nss_dns/dns-network.c,
      resolv/res_query.c, resolv/res_send.c.
    - debian/patches/any/CVE-2015-7547.diff: fix buffer handling in
      resolv/nss_dns/dns-host.c, resolv/res_query.c, resolv/res_send.c.
    - CVE-2015-7547

Across all releases did not mark reboot required.

This bug was fixed in the package glibc - 2.23-0ubuntu3

---------------
glibc (2.23-0ubuntu3) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Merge with 2.23 from experimental, bringing in upstream updates:
    - Save/restore fprs/vrs while resolving symbols (LP: #1564918)
    - Fix _nss_dns_getnetbyname_r() stack overflow (CVE-2016-3075)
    - Merge libnss-dns-udeb and libnss-files-udeb into libc6-udeb.
  * Tidy up locale-gen, thanks to Gunnar Hjalmarsson (LP: #1560577):
    - Fix thinko that broke handling of multiple locale arguments.
    - Recognize UTF-8 locales without charset suffix in SUPPORTED.
    - Fix bug that led to the unsupported message not being shown.
  * Show reboot-required notification for all updates (LP: #1546457)

I've verified that the the eglibc and glibc packages currently in proposed (precise/2.15-0ubuntu10.14, trusty/2.19-0ubuntu6.8, and wily/2.21-0ubuntu4.2) all trigger the reboot notification when installing/upgrading.

(Note that these glibc updates are in proposed for wider testing before being moved to sucurity/updates.)

What's the status on this, can we release them now? We suppose I should not release them to -updates, but you will handle this through -security?

Note that there are a few autopkgtest regressions, but these are not really glibc's fault. The vast majority are green, so I think this is good enough.

The verification of the Stable Release Update for eglibc has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
