GNU Glibc : Security vulnerabilities, CVEs
This issue occurs when the openlog function was not called, or called with the ident argument set to NULL, and the program name (the basename of argv[0]) is bigger than 1024 bytes, resulting in an application crash or local privilege escalation. This issue affects glibc 2.36 and newer. Source: Red Hat, Inc. ... A flaw was found in the GNU C Library.

<pinotree> all of them <gnu_srs> ? <pinotree> - applications should not assume that because you have accept4 (which is not posix) then SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK (flags for it) are usable to socket and socketpair <pinotree> - glibc should (as the idea of my patch) handle implementations providing SOCK_* but not supporting them for socket/socketpair <pinotree> - finally the hurd part of glibc could implement them <gnu_srs> to conclude: should I send a bug report for dbus then? <gnu_srs> pinotree: yes or no? <pinotree> gnu_srs: *shrug* i wrote it above, so an *upstream* report (not a debian one) ... <gnu_srs> I've found another error code issue, now in glib2.0 (and dbus).
The glibc 2.41 update has been causing problems for Linux gaming
Linux always had issues with legacy application and dependency hell. If glibc doesn't find a stable base for compatibility it will be hard to have a good anti cheat support or just native games. More on reddit.com

November 29, 2022 - nu: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by nu) nu: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by nu) nu: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by nu) The glibc version on current Debian 11 Bullseye (stable) is 2.31. Which means, the most recent version of nu cannot be installed through the officially recommended ways without unrecommended & potentially risky hacks to the system. I've seen other issues like this before.

The fundamental problem is that the glibc version is a string and not a decimal number. So for a "proper" solution you need to parse it manually and implement your own logic to decide which version is bigger or smaller.
However, as a quick and dirty hack, try inserting the line
setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "C");
before the strtod call. That will set the numeric locale back to the default C locale where the decimal separator is .. If you're doing something that needs correct locales later in the program you need to set it back again. Depending on how your program initialized locales earlier, something like
setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "");
should reset it back to what the environment says the locale should be.

Could this be the locale of the user? The decimal separator is not a '.' in all locales and stod uses the current locale?

Critical security flaw: glibc stack-based buffer overflow in getaddrinfo() (CVE-2015-7547) - Red Hat Customer Portal
This issue has been rated as having Critical impact by Red Hat Product Security. In a default libresolv configuration, the UDP-based vector is mitigated by using a trusted, protocol-compliant DNS resolver on a trusted network. A compliant resolver will not produce the kind of oversized responses which are necessary to exploit this vulnerability because by default, the glibc resolver does not enable EDNS0 and does not request large responses.
