Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : glibc (MDKSA-2004:159)

The Trustix developers discovered that the catchsegv and glibcbug utilities, part of the glibc package, created temporary files in an insecure manner. This could allow for a symlink attack to create or overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user invoking the program. The updated...

glibc: Insecure tempfile handling in catchsegv script

Background glibc is a package that contains the GNU C library. Description The catchsegv script creates temporary files in world-writeable directories with predictable names. Impact A local attacker could create symbolic links in the temporary files directory, pointing to a valid file somewhere o...

Debian DSA-039-1 : glibc

The version of GNU libc that was distributed with Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 suffered from 2 security problems : - It was possible to use LDPRELOAD to load libraries that are listed in /etc/ld.so.cache, even for suid programs. This could be used to create and overwrite files which a user should not be...

Debian DSA-149-1 : glibc - integer overflow

An integer overflow bug has been discovered in the RPC library used by GNU libc, which is derived from the SunRPC library. This bug could be exploited to gain unauthorized root access to software linking to this code. The packages below also fix integer overflows in the malloc code. They also...

Debian DSA-103-1 : glibc - buffer overflow

A buffer overflow has been found in the globbing code for glibc. This is the code which is used to glob patterns for filenames and is commonly used in applications like shells and FTP servers. %NASLMINLEVEL 70300 C Tenable Network Security, Inc. The descriptive text and package checks in this...

Debian DSA-282-1 : glibc - integer overflow

eEye Digital Security discovered an integer overflow in the xdrmemgetbytes function which is also present in GNU libc. This function is part of the XDR external data representation encoder/decoder derived from Sun's RPC implementation. Depending upon the application, this vulnerability can cause...

CVE-2002-1146

The CVE-2002-1146 issue affects BIND 4 and BIND 8.2.x stub resolver libraries, and older glibc/libc/libresolv components (e.g., glibc ≤ 2.2.5) which use the maximum buffer size instead of the actual DNS response size, causing a read buffer overflow. This can enable a remote attacker to cause a de...

GLSA-200408-16 : glibc: Information leak with LD_DEBUG

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200408-16 glibc: Information leak with LDDEBUG Silvio Cesare discovered a potential information leak in glibc. It allows LDDEBUG on SUID binaries where it should not be allowed. This has various security implications, which may be...
