Root access vulnerability in glibc library impacts many Linux distros
(securityaffairs.com)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So, it must be with the BSDs too?
BSDs use libc
Iirc bad does not use glibc, but I'm not very involved with BSD.
It wouldn't make sense. Glibc is LGPL licensed, not really compatible with the BSD license...
