You need to update your Linux server's installation of glibc
immediately to protect it from a stack-based buffer overflow which was discovered on February 16, 2016.
Note: You only need to perform this update if you have a VPS or dedicated server. Customers with shared hosting accounts do not need to do anything.
For $79, ITEGY will update glibc
for you. To buy this service, give us a call at (480) 624-2500.
