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...

glibc: incorrect use of extend_alloca() in formatted printing can lead to FORTIFY_SOURCE format string protection bypass

The vfprintf function in stdio-common/vfprintf.c in libc in GNU C Library aka glibc 2.14 and other versions does not properly calculate a buffer length, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass the FORTIFYSOURCE format-string protection mechanism and cause a denial of service segmentati...

glibc: FORTIFY_SOURCE format string protection bypass via "nargs" integer overflow

Integer overflow in the vfprintf function in stdio-common/vfprintf.c in glibc 2.14 and other versions allows context-dependent attackers to bypass the FORTIFYSOURCE protection mechanism, conduct format string attacks, and write to arbitrary memory via a large number of arguments...

UBUNTU-CVE-2010-3192

Certain run-time memory protection mechanisms in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 print argv0 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 tha...

HP Snags Application Testing Firm Fortify

The drumbeat for more secure application development picked up pace on Tuesday, with news that software giant HP had acquired privately funded Fortify Software, a maker of static code analysis tools, for an undisclosed amount. HP said that Fortify’s static analysis tools will complement its dynam...

CVE-2010-0393

The cupsGetlang function, as used by lppasswd.c in lppasswd in CUPS 1.2.2, 1.3.7, 1.3.9, and 1.4.1, relies on an environment variable to determine the file that provides localized message strings, which allows local users to gain privileges via a file that contains crafted localization data with...

MySQL yaSSL CertDecoder::GetName Buffer Overflow

This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in the yaSSL 1.9.8 and earlier implementation bundled with MySQL. By sending a specially crafted client certificate, an attacker can execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability is present within the CertDecoder::GetName function inside...
