Upgrade Centos:9 glibc-static to version 0:2.34-231.el9_7.10 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glibc-static package and not the glibc-static package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Calling wordexp with WRDE_REUSE in conjunction with WRDE_APPEND in the GNU C Library version 2.0 to version 2.42 may cause the interface to return uninitialized memory in the we_wordv member, which on subsequent calls to wordfree may abort the process.
