 > List of fixes from the 2.26 branch NEWS files:
 >   CVE-2017-15670: The glob function, when invoked with GLOB_TILDE,

 >   on the stack or the heap, depending on the length of the user name).
 >   Reported by Tim R?hsen.

 >   CVE-2017-15671: The glob function, when invoked with GLOB_TILDE,
 >   would sometimes fail to free memory allocated during ~ operator
 >   processing, leading to a memory leak and, potentially, to a denial
 >   of service.

 >   CVE-2017-15804: The glob function, when invoked with GLOB_TILDE and
 >   without GLOB_NOESCAPE, could write past the end of a buffer while
 >   unescaping user names.  Reported by Tim R?hsen.

 >   CVE-2017-17426: The malloc function, when called with an object size near
 >   the value SIZE_MAX, would return a pointer to a buffer which is too small,
 >   instead of NULL.  This was a regression introduced with the new malloc
 >   thread cache in glibc 2.26.  Reported by Iain Buclaw.
