I would like to install libc6 2.33 onto a debian docker container for security patch reasons. I can see here that it has been released, and also it is noted here that 2.33 is available.
Is there any easy way to get this installed onto a debian docker container?
Is there a hard way to get this installed onto a debian docker container?
If anyone has any info on how long this usually takes to get released to apt-get that would also be useful.

It might take a while until a .deb is available, so if your work depends on it, I suggest to build it from source. Sometimes even takes 2-3 months before the updates is available in the test.
Source can be found on the following link https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/sources.html
You can find some nice information on how to include the library in your source builds on this link https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Tips_and_Tricks/How_to_Build_an_application_with_your_own_custom_glibc
In case you want to make your own .deb and use it to build your own flavor of Debian containers, than you will need some more work to combine the new source with the build rules from the maintainers repository.
