glibc: Stack (frame) overflow in getaddrinfo() when called with AF_INET6

It was found that getaddrinfo did not limit the amount of stack memory used during name resolution. An attacker able to make an application resolve an attacker-controlled hostname or IP address could possibly cause the application to exhaust all stack memory and crash...

glibc: Buffer overwrite when using readdir_r on file systems returning file names longer than NAME_MAX characters

An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the way the glibc's readdirr function handled file system entries longer than the NAMEMAX character constant. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted NTFS or CIFS file system that, when processed by an application using readdirr, would cause th...

glibc: Invalid-free when using getaddrinfo()

An invalid free flaw was found in glibc's getaddrinfo function when used with the AIIDN flag. A remote attacker able to make an application call this function could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the application. Note that this flaw only affected...

Amazon Linux AMI : glibc (ALAS-2014-399)

An off-by-one heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in glibc's internal gconvtranslitfind function. An attacker able to make an application call the iconvopen function with a specially crafted argument could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of that...

Amazon Linux AMI : glibc (ALAS-2014-400)

A directory traversal flaw was found in the way glibc loaded locale files. An attacker able to make an application use a specially crafted locale name value for example, specified in an LC environment variable could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of that...

Amazon Linux AMI : glibc (ALAS-2014-355)

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in net/netfilter/ipvs/ipvsctl.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.33, when CONFIGIPVS is used, allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging the CAPNETADMIN capability for 1 a getsockopt system call, related to the doipvsgetctl function, or 2 a setsockopt...

ESXi 5.5 < Build 1980513 glibc Library Multiple Vulnerabilities (remote check)

The remote VMware ESXi host is version 5.5 prior to build 1980513. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities in the glibc library : - A buffer overflow flaw exists in the 'extendbuffers' function of the 'posix/regexec.c' file, due to not properly validating user input. Using a...
