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. – Jacek Feb 18 '16 at 12:15
