An update that solves four vulnerabilities can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for glibc fixes the following issues:

  * CVE-2026-8674: reachable assert in `resolv/resolv_conf.c:update_from_conf`
    allows an attacker in a local network to trigger a process crash
    (bsc#1281297).
  * CVE-2026-86805: TOCTOU race condition in the dynamic loader allows local
    attackers to escalate privileges (bsc#1282509).
  * CVE-2026-89092: nscd stack overflow leads to degraded DNS resolution
    (bsc#1282449).
  * CVE-2026-97399: one byte out-of-bounds read via function `strncasecmp` on
    Power8 can lead to a program crash (bsc#1283147).
