glibc: crash in code page decoding functions (IBM933, IBM935, IBM937, IBM939, IBM1364)

An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way glibc's iconv function converted certain encoded data to UTF-8. An attacker able to make an application call the iconv function with a specially crafted argument could use this flaw to crash that application...

glibc: command execution in wordexp() with WRDE_NOCMD specified

It was found that the wordexp function would perform command substitution even when the WRDENOCMD flag was specified. An attacker able to provide specially crafted input to an application using the wordexp function, and not sanitizing the input correctly, could potentially use this flaw to execut...
