glibc: Glibc: Denial of Service via stack exhaustion during tilde expansion

A flaw was found in glibc. When processing paths that start with a tilde followed by a username, the wordexp function can be forced to allocate an excessive amount of memory on the program's stack. A remote attacker could exploit this by providing a very long username, leading to a stack exhausti...

DEBIAN-CVE-2026-6791

When expanding paths that begin with a tilde followed by a username, the internal parsetilde function extracts the username to determine the user's home directory. The implementation allocates memory for this username directly on the stack using the strndupa macro. Because the size of this...

CVE-2026-6791

CVE-2026-6791 concerns tilde expansion in wordexp within glibc. When expanding paths starting with ~username, parse_tilde extracts the username and allocates memory for it on the stack via strndupa. No bounds checks on the username length can exhaust stack space, enabling a stack-clash condition ...

CVE-2026-54590 AsyncSSH AuthorizedKeysFile username substitution bypass through ~ and environment expansion

AsyncSSH is a Python package which provides an asynchronous client and server implementation of the SSHv2 protocol on top of the Python asyncio framework. Version 2.23.0 contains an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-45309 in SSHServerConfig.settokens that blocks /, , and .. before %u substitution in...

CVE-2026-54590

AsyncSSH (Python, v2.23.0) contains an incomplete fix for CVE-2026-45309 in SSHServerConfig._set_tokens that blocks /, , and .. before %u substitution in AuthorizedKeysFile but fails to block a leading ~ or ${ENV}. This allows later expansion in _expand_val and Path(filename).expanduser() to esca...

glibc: use-after-free in glob() function when expanding ~user

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in glibc in the way the tilde expansion was carried out. Directory paths containing an initial tilde followed by a valid username were affected by this issue.

A use-after-free vulnerability introduced in glibc upstream version 2.14 was found in the way the tilde expansion was carried out. Directory paths containing an initial tilde followed by a valid username were affected by this issue. A local attacker could exploit this flaw by creating a specially crafted path that when processed by the glob function would potentially lead to arbitrary code execution. This was fixed in version 2.32.
