glibc: glibc: Process abort due to invalid memory in wordexp

A flaw was found in glibc GNU C Library. A local attacker or application using the wordexp function with the WRDEAPPEND flag can trigger the interface to return invalid memory in the wewordv member. This invalid memory, when subsequently processed by wordfree, may cause the process to abort,...

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...

CVE-2026-6368

Calling wordexp with WRDEAPPEND in the GNU C Library version 2.0 to version 2.43 can cause the interface to return invalid memory in the wewordv member, which on subsequent calls to wordfree may abort the process...

AZL-95492 CVE-2026-6791 affecting package glibc 2.38-21

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-2026-6368

CVE-2026-6368 affects the GNU C Library (glibc) wordexp usage with WRDE_APPEND (versions 2.0–2.43). The underlying issue is invalid memory in the we_wordv member, which can lead to process abort on subsequent wordfree calls. The connected sources document this memory handling bug; no exploit deta...
