Hi All,

I am in a bit of a conundrum I hope someone could give me some advice.

I have a CentOS 7 server which currently runs glibc version 2.17.x. That version contains a memory leak described and fixed here:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id370

Suffice to say, this memory leak is causing some serious issues and I have read that upgrading glibc without also upgrading the entire kernel is not recommended.

I was hoping that this fix was back ported into CentOS 7 somewhere and maybe there is a quick fix I just don’t know about? This is a production server so stability is a big concern, I can’t be trying out any new experimental stuff ;)

Thanks everyone!
