Unfortunately, the upstream commit had a typo in the CVE number.

  
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=f9df71e895d3552d557e783fdb9d133328195645

Here's an updated patch.

+Remove support for loadable gconv transliteration modules.
+The support for transliteration modules has been non-functional for
+over a decade, and the removal is prompted by security defects.  The
+normal gconv conversion modules are still supported.  Transliteration
+with //TRANSLIT is still possible, and the //IGNORE specifier
+continues to be  supported. (CVE-2014-5119)
+
+Based on upstream commits a1a6a401ab0a3c9f15fb7eaebbdcee24192254e8
