Issue Overview:

An off-by-one heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in glibc’s internal __gconv_translit_find() function. An attacker able to make an application call the iconv_open() function with a specially crafted argument could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of that application.

Affected Packages:

glibc

Issue Correction:
Run yum update glibc to update your system.
