DEBIAN-CVE-2015-1473

The ADDW macro in stdio-common/vfscanf.c in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 before 2.21 does not properly consider data-type size during a risk-management decision for use of the alloca function, which might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service segmentation violatio...

CVE-2015-1473

CVE-2015-1473 affects the GNU C Library (glibc) prior to version 2.21, arising from the ADDW macro in stdio-common/vfscanf.c not properly factoring data-type size when using alloca in a wscanf path. This can allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) or ov...

F5 Networks BIG-IP : GNU C Library (glibc) vulnerability (SOL16364)

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...
