Applied all post-release patches from the 2.36 branch. This fixes a security issue introduced in glibc-2.36: When the syslog function is passed a crafted input string larger than 1024 bytes, it reads uninitialized memory from the heap and prints it to the target log file, potentially revealing a portion of the contents of the heap. Thanks to marav. The patches also help with several packages failing to build from source.
