I've been trying to update eglibc to fix a Debian 6 Squeeze system that is vulnerable to the GHOST exploit, but I haven't been able to so far.
I've gone through the relevant instructions here but my system still remains vulnerable. (I am checking vulnerability by running the script located here). My libc version after update is 2.11.3-4.
I notice that on Debian's Security Tracker that there is a fixed version of eglibc for eglibc on squeeze (lts), but not squeeze. I am running squeeze.
How can I fix my version of squeeze? Do I need to upgrade to squeeze (lts)? If so, is that a painful and involved process or a simple and easy process?
Much appreciated - thanks.
See a similar question on SO. You really do need to upgrade to Squeeze LTS, but it’s simple enough if you’re running i386 or amd64; the Debian wiki has all the info.
Get eglibc's source and compile to a .deb yourself.

I have installed the latest stable version of Ubuntu (Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS).
I remarked that when I search for library like "Eigen or openMp", I have no result. However, in older Ubuntu versions, I could install lot of libraries. I know that I can install them via terminal, but I prefer to find them via the software-center. Is there a trick to let the software-center find such libraries ?
Some libraries receive updates to support latest ubuntu versions after a considerable period of time.What you can do is downloading the debian package from internet and install it using Ubuntu Software Manager.Visit the link below for more details.

When I run yum update, it lists the packages that it will upgrade. For one of the packages, kernel, it lists it under the "Installing" header. All other packages are listed under the "Upgrading" header. Why does it say that is "Installing" that package? The current version of that package is 4.14.104-95.84.amzn2 and it will be upgraded/installed to 4.14.114-103.97.amzn2. This is not even a major version change, in which case, it might have made sense. Is there a general case where this happens? Or is this only specific to kernel and related packages, since they are special in a sense?
From here - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8-beta/html/managing_monitoring_and_updating_the_kernel/updating-kernel-with-yum_managing-monitoring-and-updating-the-kernel
The yum package manager always installs a new kernel instead of replacing the current one, which could potentially leave your system unbootable.
The system must be rebooted after installing kernel package for consistency, integrity reasons.
Also yum handles updating the kernel package so that end-user need not worry about upgrading or installing it.

I've received a linux-yocto box. I now I'm trying to installing some software, on ubuntu I use apt-get but it seems not to work/installe. so I've tried yum same result.
so my question is, is there a way to find out which package manager is install on my linux system ?
thanks in advance !
Yocto is using either rpm, dpkg, or opkg as the package manager. If the tools are installed on the image, which isn't a requirement, then the binaries are either dnf (or yum if it is a really old release), apt-get, or opkg respectively.
There's a reasonable chance that you've been given an image without a package manager or a working feed though. The joy of Yocto is that it is so flexible, so you should ask whoever gave you the software.

I need to compile my code on Linux 3.14.17 (vanilla) kernel.
Can anyone help me find a distro which comes with this kernel by default.
If there is no distro which comes with this kernel then how can I use this kernel or which Linux distro is based on the above kernel.
Thanks
Kumar
The simplest solution is to use your favorite distro (for example Ubuntu) and to compile the kernel at the desired version.
On this link, there is a step-by-step explanation on how to compile a vanilla kernel for Ubuntu.
Adapt for the given version you want.
Ubuntu provides special repository with packaged kernels for alomost every upstream version. This folder provides kernel packages for 3.14.17. Just download and install them them via
dpkg -i *.deb
Check your architecture i.e. i386 or amd64 before downloading.

I am a bit confused by the fact that although I installed RHEL 5.1 from DVD (RedHat/5.1.x86_64), when I issue command:
cat /etc/redhat-release
I got:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga)
What does this mean? is this to be the release version or kernel version? Is there another way to confirm the real version of RHEL?
I am asking this question because there will be certain applications that would depend on this.
Many thanks in advance.
Avoid /etc/*release* files and run this command instead, it is far more reliable and gives more details:
rpm -qia '*release*'
I assume that you've run yum upgrade. That will in general update you to the newest minor release.
Your main resources for determining the version are /etc/redhat_release and lsb_release -a
That's the RHEL release version.
You can see the kernel version by typing uname -r. It'll be 2.6.something.
That is the release version of RHEL, or at least the release of RHEL from which the package supplying /etc/redhat-release was installed. A file like that is probably the closest you can come; you could also look at /etc/lsb-release.
It is theoretically possible to have packages installed from a mix of versions (e.g. upgrading part of the system to 5.5 while leaving other parts at 5.4), so if you depend on the versions of specific components you will need to check for those individually.
