Impact to Big-IP of CVE-2015-8777

Anyone know what the impact is for the following problem:-

 

CVE-2015-8777: The process_envvars function in elf/rtld.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allows local users to bypass a pointer-guarding protection mechanism via a zero value of the LD_POINTER_GUARD environment variable.

 

And is there is a patch or remediation solution in the pipeline.

 

Best, Steve
