glibc: potential use-after-free in getaddrinfo()

A flaw has been identified in glibc. In an extremely rare situation, the getaddrinfo function may access memory that has been freed, resulting in an application crash. This issue is only exploitable when a NSS module implements only the nssgethostbyname2r and nssgetcanonnamer hooks without...

glibc: potential use-after-free in gaih_inet()

A flaw has been identified in glibc. In an uncommon situation, the gaihinet function may use memory that has been freed, resulting in an application crash. This issue is only exploitable when the getaddrinfo function is called and the hosts database in /etc/nsswitch.conf is configured with...

Important: glibc

Issue Overview: The iconv function in the GNU C Library versions 2.39 and older may overflow the output buffer passed to it by up to 4 bytes when converting strings to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set, which may be used to crash an application or overwrite a neighbouring variable. CVE-2024-2961...

SUSE CVE-2024-33599

nscd: Stack-based buffer overflow in netgroup cache If the Name Service Cache Daemon's nscd fixed size cache is exhausted by client requests then a subsequent client request for netgroup data may result in a stack-based buffer overflow. This flaw was introduced in glibc 2.15 when the cache was...

SUSE CVE-2024-33600

nscd: Null pointer crashes after notfound response If the Name Service Cache Daemon's nscd cache fails to add a not-found netgroup response to the cache, the client request can result in a null pointer dereference. This flaw was introduced in glibc 2.15 when the cache was added to nscd. This...
