It was discovered that the GNU C Library incorrectly handled multibyte characters in the regular expression matcher. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2013-0242)

It was discovered that the GNU C Library incorrectly handled large numbers of domain conversion results in the getaddrinfo() function. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2013-1914)

It was discovered that the GNU C Library readdir_r() function incorrectly handled crafted NTFS or CIFS images. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2013-4237)

It was discovered that the GNU C Library incorrectly handled memory allocation. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2013-4332).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
