"Unbounded stack allocation in catopen function

A stack based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the catopen()
function. An excessively long string passed to the function could
cause it to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary
code.(CVE-2015-8779)

Integer overflow in hcreate and hcreate_r

An integer overflow vulnerability was found in hcreate() and
hcreate_r() functions which could result in an out-of-bounds memory
access. This could lead to application crash or, potentially,
arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-8778)

Unbounded stack allocation in nan* functions

A stack overflow vulnerability was found in nan* functions that could
cause applications, which process long strings with the nan function,
to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-9761)

LD_POINTER_GUARD in the environment is not sanitized

It was found that the dynamic loader did not sanitize the
LD_POINTER_GUARD environment variable. An attacker could use this flaw
to bypass the pointer guarding protection on set-user-ID or
set-group-ID programs to execute arbitrary code with the permissions
of the user running the application.(CVE-2015-8777)

Segmentation fault caused by passing out-of-range data to strftime()

It was found that out-of-range time values passed to the strftime()
function could result in an out-of-bounds memory access. This could
lead to application crash or, potentially, information disclosure.
