    1. you failed to include a link to the article 2. you failed to include the CVE number so we know what you are talking about. 3. Guessing: http://askubuntu.com/questions/735825/which-ubuntu-releases-have-fixes-for-cve-2015-7547-extremely-severe-bug-with – Rinzwind Feb 18 '16 at 07:42

If you got the latest updates for Ubuntu yesterday, you should be safe - they released glibc updates (guessing we're talking, indeed, about the latest glibc issues: CVE-2015-7547 and assuming you're using latest/supported versions of ubuntu)

Unless some new bugs have been found meanwhile ;)

cheers

  • I believe you should be fine - keep your system always up to date, and you should be good. – Jacek Feb 18 '16 at 12:15
