SUSE CVE-2012-3406

The vfprintf function in stdio-common/vfprintf.c in GNU C Library aka glibc 2.5, 2.12, and probably other versions does not "properly restrict the use of" the alloca function when allocating the SPECS array, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass the FORTIFYSOURCE format-string...

SUSE CVE-2018-10907

It was found that glusterfs server is vulnerable to multiple stack based buffer overflows due to functions in server-rpc-fopc.c allocating fixed size buffers using 'alloca3'. An authenticated attacker could exploit this by mounting a gluster volume and sending a string longer that the fixed buffe...

glusterfs: Stack-based buffer overflow in server-rpc-fops.c allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code

It was found that glusterfs server is vulnerable to mulitple stack based buffer overflows due to functions in server-rpc-fopc.c allocating fixed size buffers using 'alloca3'. An authenticated attacker could exploit this by mounting a gluster volume and sending a string longer that the fixed buffe...

glibc: printf() unbound alloca() usage in case of positional parameters + many format specs

The vfprintf function in stdio-common/vfprintf.c in GNU C Library aka glibc 2.5, 2.12, and probably other versions does not "properly restrict the use of" the alloca function when allocating the SPECS array, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass the FORTIFYSOURCE format-string...

ruby: Unsafe use of alloca in rb_str_format()

The rbstrformat function in Ruby 1.8.4 and earlier, 1.8.5 before 1.8.5-p231, 1.8.6 before 1.8.6-p230, 1.8.7 before 1.8.7-p22, and 1.9.0 before 1.9.0-2 allows context-dependent attackers to trigger memory corruption via unspecified vectors related to alloca, a different issue than CVE-2008-2662,...
