I came across this article by PC world informing about some serious vulnerability discovered by Google and Redhat a couple of days before, i am using Ubuntu latest version, and it's up-to-date, do i have to worry, is it been fixed????

31. you failed to include a link to the article 2. you failed to include the CVE number so we know what you are talking about. 3. Guessing: askubuntu.com/questions/735825/…– RinzwindFeb 18, 2016 at 7:42

If you got the latest updates for Ubuntu yesterday, you should be safe - they released glibc updates (guessing we're talking, indeed, about the latest glibc issues: CVE-2015-7547 and assuming you're using latest/supported versions of ubuntu)
Unless some new bugs have been found meanwhile ;)
cheers

I believe you should be fine - keep your system always up to date, and you should be good.– JacekFeb 18, 2016 at 12:15
