Package glibc Installed

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The package glibc is installed on Linux by default, but the glibc version might not be sufficient for SAP. Please refer to SAP note of your Linux version for the minimum requirement on glibc. The glibc package can be installed with the following command: 

$ sudo yum install glibc

Rationale

The glibc package contains standard C and math libraries used by multiple programs on Linux. The glibc shipped with first release of each major Linux version is often not sufficient for SAP. An update is required after the first OS installation.
