  - Certain run-time memory protection mechanisms in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) print argv[0] and
    backtrace information, which might allow context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from
    process memory by executing an incorrect program, as demonstrated by a setuid program that contains a
    stack-based buffer overflow error, related to the __fortify_fail function in debug/fortify_fail.c, and the
    __stack_chk_fail (aka stack protection) and __chk_fail (aka FORTIFY_SOURCE) implementations.
