* CVE-2021-3999: getcwd - Set errno to ERANGE for size == 1

CVE(s):
CVE-2021-3999
A flaw was found in glibc. An off-by-one buffer overflow and underflow in getcwd() may lead to memory
corruption when the size of the buffer is exactly 1. A local attacker who can control the input buffer and
size passed to getcwd() in a setuid program could use this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code and
escalate their privileges on the system.
CVE-2021-35942
The wordexp function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc) through 2.33 may crash or read arbitrary memory in
parse_param (in posix/wordexp.c) when called with an untrusted, crafted pattern, potentially resulting in
a denial of service or disclosure of information. This occurs because atoi was used but strtoul should
have been used to ensure correct calculations.
CVE-2022-23218
The deprecated compatibility function svcunix_create in the sunrpc module of the GNU C Library (aka glibc)
through 2.34 copies its path argument on the stack without validating its length, which may result in a
buffer overflow, potentially resulting in a denial of service or (if an application is not built with a
stack protector enabled) arbitrary code execution.
CVE-2022-23219
The deprecated compatibility function clnt_create in the sunrpc module of the GNU C Library (aka glibc)
through 2.34 copies its hostname argument on the stack without validating its length, which may result in
a buffer overflow, potentially resulting in a denial of service or (if an application is not built with a
stack protector enabled) arbitrary code execution.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
