    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.
