Update GLIBC 2.17 in RHEL6

Update From RPMs (Recommended)

1. Download RPMs
   https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/mosquito/myrepo-el6/epel-6-x86_64/glibc-2.17-55.fc20/
2. Install RPMs
   sudo rpm -Uvh glibc-2.17*.rpm
   You might encounter some error like “error: Failed dependencies:…”.
   To fix it just add this parameter --force --nodeps at the end of the rpm command.
   After finished up let’s check what versions of GLIBC we are having now.
   strings /lib64/libc.so.6 | grep GLIBC or sudo yum list | grep -i glibc
