glibc: heap buffer overflow in glibc swscanf

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in glibc's swscanf function. An attacker able to make an application call the swscanf function could use this flaw to crash that application or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the application...

glibc: Stack-overflow in glibc swscanf

A stack overflow flaw was found in glibc's swscanf function. An attacker able to make an application call the swscanf function could use this flaw to crash that application or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the application...

PT-2015-7848 · Gnu +2 · Gnu C Library +2

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: GNU C Library versions prior to 2.22 Description: The issue allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash, by providing a malformed pattern that triggers an out-of-bounds read in the fnmatc...

PT-2017-2244 · Gnu +3 · Glibc +3

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: glibc versions prior to 2.20 Description: The issue is related to the nscd daemon in the GNU C Library, where it does not correctly compute the size of an internal buffer when processing netgroup requests. This could lead to a crash of the ns...

[SECURITY] Fedora 23 Update: glibc-2.22-6.fc23

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...

glibc: data corruption while reading the NSS files database

It was discovered that the nssfiles backend for the Name Service Switch in glibc would return incorrect data to applications or corrupt the heap depending on adjacent heap contents. A local attacker could potentially use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the system...

glibc: getaddrinfo() writes DNS queries to random file descriptors under high load

It was discovered that, under certain circumstances, glibc's getaddrinfo function would send DNS queries to random file descriptors. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to send DNS queries to unintended recipients, resulting in information disclosure or data loss due to the application...
