Medium: glibc

Issue Overview: An integer overflow flaw was found in glibc that may result in reading of arbitrary memory when wordexp is used with a specially crafted untrusted regular expression input. CVE-2021-35942 Affected Packages: glibc Note: This advisory is applicable to Amazon Linux 2 AL2 Core...

The wordexp function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc) through 2.33 may crash or read arbitrary memory in parse_param (in posix/wordexp.c) when called with an untrusted crafted pattern potentially resulting in a denial of service or disclosure of information. This occurs because atoi was used but strtoul should have been used to ensure correct calculations.

CVE-2021-35942

CVE-2021-35942 affects the GNU C Library (glibc) wordexp in posix/wordexp.c. The root cause is an integer/regex handling issue caused by using atoi instead of strtoul, which can lead to an out-of-bounds read or memory access. Exploitation can crash the process or cause information disclosure (DoS...
