* CVE-2014-8121 The NSS backends shared internal state between the getXXent
and getXXbyYY NSS calls for the same database, causing a denial-of-service
condition in some applications.

+* Added vector math library named libmvec with the following vectorized x86_64
+ implementations: cos.
+ Naming of x86_64 implementations is in accordance with
+ Vector ABI <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/x86-64-abi/LmppCfN1rZ4>.
+ Vector math library build and ABI testing enabled by default for x86_64.

Version 2.21
I also would like to add wiki page (with content mostly based on
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/libm#Addition_of_x86_64_vector_math_functions_to_Glibc)
to 5.4. Internals Documentation at
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki#Development and add according link
to NEWS.
