glibc: Stack (frame) overflow in getaddrinfo() when processing entry mapping to long list of address structures

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...

DEBIAN-CVE-2013-0242

Buffer overflow in the extendbuffers function in the regular expression matcher posix/regexec.c in glibc, possibly 2.17 and earlier, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service memory corruption and crash via crafted multibyte characters...

glibc: stack overflow in getaddrinfo()'s use of alloca()

REJECTED CVE This CVE has been rejected. This candidate is a duplicate of CVE-2013-4357. Note: All CVE users should reference CVE-2013-4357 instead of this candidate...

UBUNTU-CVE-2012-6656

iconvdata/ibm930.c in GNU C Library aka glibc before 2.16 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service out-of-bounds read via a multibyte character value of "0xffff" to the iconv function when converting IBM930 encoded data to UTF-8...

glibc: incorrect size calculation in formatted printing can lead to FORTIFY_SOURCE format string protection bypass

The vfprintf function in stdio-common/vfprintf.c in libc in GNU C Library aka glibc 2.12 and other versions does not properly calculate a buffer length, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass the FORTIFYSOURCE format-string protection mechanism and cause a denial of service stack...

glibc: printf() unbound alloca() usage in case of positional parameters + many format specs

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...
