Hm, Justin said he had
glibc-2.12-1.192.el6.x86_64
which is a little bit behind the times but not *that* ancient.

For reference, attached is the rpm --changelog output on an up-to-date
RHEL6 box for glibc running back to 2.12-1.192.  Unfortunately a lot
of the referenced bugzilla entries aren't public, but the one-liner
descriptions don't seem to suggest that they found any heap overruns
that would be interesting for us.

However ... there is some pretty interesting info at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1338673
suggesting that compiling with a late-model gcc against older RHEL6
headers could result in bad code.  I wonder whether the reporters'
servers were built using such a configuration.  (Although the linkage,
if any, to this report still wouldn't be very clear.)
