# Oracle Linux 7.x : History of GLIBC and CVE

History of glibc and CVE for Oracle Linux 7.x ( 7.0 / 7.1 / 7.2 / 7.3 / 7.4 / 7.5 ) :

So Redhat ( and Oracle Linux, because it's fork )  uses branch GLIBC **2.17** instead GLIBC **2.27** ...

Question : What's the current CVE on 2.17-222 ? It's plan to merge with 2.27 ?

Big gap on GLIBC between Redhat & Fédora :

Thanks.
