Description:
    Previous versions of the glibc package can cause an application to
    generate a segmentation violation when attempting to render a
    string specified with excessive precision.  This is in every case
    a fault in the calling application, but glibc has been modified to
    prevent the fault in the application for generating a segmentation
    violation.
