Fixed in Debian on Jan 27. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=776391

So please remember to and reboot as soon as possible. To check if you are safe already:
the glibc version should yield 2.19-13 or higher.

Thank you, upgraded Haggis and now safe here. :)

Whew .... I'm safe. I was worried for a minute.

Updated for Slackware on 1/28:

patches/packages/glibc-2.17-x86_64-10_slack14.1.txz: Rebuilt.
This update patches a security issue __nss_hostname_digits_dots() function
of glibc which may be triggered through the gethostbyname*() set of
functions. This flaw could allow local or remote attackers to take control
of a machine running a vulnerable version of glibc. Thanks to Qualys for
discovering this issue (also known as the GHOST vulnerability.)
