"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2012-928:05 advisory.
The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by multiple programs on the system. In order
to save disk space and memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is kept in one
place and shared between programs. This particular package contains the most important sets of shared
libraries: the standard C library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a Linux
system will not function.
Security issues fixed with this release:
CVE-2012-3480
Multiple integer overflows in the (1) strtod, (2) strtof, (3) strtold, (4) strtod_l, and other unspecified
related functions in stdlib in GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.16 allow local users to cause a
denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string, which
triggers a stack-based buffer overflow.
Fixed bugs:
Fixed some logic errors in some mathematical functions (exp, exp2, expf, exp2f, pow, sin, tan, and rint)
which could cause a crash when they were used in the non-default rounding mode.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
