It was discovered that the nss_files backend for the Name Service Switch in
glibc would return incorrect data to applications or corrupt the heap
(depending on adjacent heap contents) in certain cases. A local attacker
could potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges.
(CVE-2015-5277)
This issue was discovered by Sumit Bose and Luk Slebodnk of Red Hat.
All glibc users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue.");
