[Bug 1328975] Re: libc6: getaddrinfo() sends DNS queries to random file descriptors

 

Hi all-- I apologize in advance if this is tracked somewhere here and
I'm missing it, but I'm curious to know if this bugfix (and associated
downstream packages) are planned to be backported to 14.04 repositories.

Would someone mind shedding some light on the backport process/timeline
for LTS releases, and the status of this ticket in that regard?

Much thanks for your time!
