GNU glibc 'strcoll()' function stack buffer overflow vulnerability

GNU glibc is an implementation of the C library for the Linux operating system. A stack buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the GNU glibc 'strcoll' function, which could be exploited by remote attackers to crash an application or execute arbitrary code...

Cisco TelePresence Conductor GNU glibc gethostbyname Function Buffer Overflow Vulnerability (GHOST)

According to its self-reported version number, the Cisco TelePresence Conductor remote device is affected by a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the GNU C Library glibc due to improperly validating user-supplied input to the nsshostnamedigitsdots, gethostbyname, and gethostbyname2...

How to Detect Exploits of the GHOST Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

The GHOST vulnerability is a buffer overflow condition that can be easily exploited locally and remotely, which makes it extremely dangerous. This vulnerability is named after the GetHOSTbyname function involved in the exploit. Attackers utilize buffer overflow vulnerabilities like this one by...

glibc 'stdio-common/vfscanf.c' buffer overflow vulnerability

GNU glibc is the implementation of the C library in the vast majority of Linux operating systems. A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in glibc 'stdio-common/vfscanf.c', which allows an attacker to exploit the vulnerability to crash an application or execute arbitrary code...
