Yes this affects all eglibc version 2.9 and newer up to glibc 2.23.

As far as I'm aware, this affects all Yocto Project versions up to 2.0.


(The patch referenced by the security announcement applies to all of the
versions of glibc I've needed to apply it to for my customers.  A few per-line
tweaks might be necessary, but it was fairly easy.)
