I don't know if this is true or not, but I have a patch here locally
that seems to work against the CVE. I haven't downloaded the other
patches and added them, but with all the '(replacement #f)''s in place
it should just work to add them in to the glibc packages we have.

I'll wait and see before pushing the patch.
