Ubuntu 8.04 LTS / 10.04 LTS / 10.10 / 11.04 / 11.10 : eglibc, glibc vulnerabilities (USN-1396-1)

It was discovered that the GNU C Library did not properly handle integer overflows in the timezone handling code. An attacker could use this to possibly execute arbitrary code by convincing an application to load a maliciously constructed tzfile. CVE-2009-5029 It was discovered that the GNU C...

[SECURITY] Fedora 15 Update: glibc-2.14.1-6

The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package contains the most important se...

[SECURITY] Fedora 17 Update: glibc-2.15-23.fc17

glibc: ldd unexpected code execution issue

ldd in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 2.13 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse executable file linked with a modified loader that omits certain LDTRACELOADEDOBJECTS checks. NOTE: the GNU C Library vendor states "This is just nonsense. There are a gazillion...

glibc: fnmatch() alloca()-based memory corruption flaw

Integer overflow in posix/fnmatch.c in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 2.13 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service application crash via a long UTF8 string that is used in an fnmatch call with a crafted pattern argument, a different vulnerability than...

glibc: Suid mount helpers fail to anticipate RLIMIT_FSIZE

The addmntent function in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 2.13 and earlier does not report an error status for failed attempts to write to the /etc/mtab file, which makes it easier for local users to trigger corruption of this file, as demonstrated by writes from a process with a small...

glibc: ld.so d_tag signedness error in elf_get_dynamic_info

Integer signedness error in the elfgetdynamicinfo function in elf/dynamic-link.h in ld.so in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 2.0.1 through 2.11.1, when the --verify option is used, allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ELF program with a negative value...

glibc: __tzfile_read integer overflow to buffer overflow

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the glibc library read timezone files. If a carefully-crafted timezone file was loaded by an application linked against glibc, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code wi...

glibc: Improper encoding of names with certain special character in utilities for writing to mtab table

The encodename macro in misc/mntentr.c in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 2.11.1 and earlier, as used by ncpmount and mount.cifs, does not properly handle newline characters in mountpoint names, which allows local users to cause a denial of service mtab corruption, or possibly modify mount...

glibc: svc_run() produces high cpu usage when accept() fails with EMFILE error

A denial of service flaw was found in the remote procedure call RPC implementation in glibc. A remote attacker able to open a large number of connections to an RPC service that is using the RPC implementation from glibc, could use this flaw to make that service use an excessive amount of CPU time...

glibc: ldd unexpected code execution issue

ldd in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 2.13 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse executable file linked with a modified loader that omits certain LDTRACELOADEDOBJECTS checks. NOTE: the GNU C Library vendor states "This is just nonsense. There are a gazillion...
