Hello,
A vulnerability has been found in glibc:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/1332213
it's a buffer overflow issue with the gethostname function (it does dns lookups).
Fix instructions can be found in this thread:

Basically, update glibc with your system's package manager, and restart your services.
Full recompile of the services shouldn't be required if just glibc is updated.
If unsure, run ./build update; ./build all d;
