CVE-2013-4458

CVE-2013-4458 describes a stack-based overflow in glibc's getaddrinfo (sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c) that can cause DoS via a hostname or IP that yields many AF_INET6 results. Concrete tie-ins exist: CVE-2016-3706 notes this vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-4458, and Debi...

CVE-2013-4237

CVE-2013-4237 affects glibc (GNU C Library) 2.18 and earlier, in sysdeps/posix/readdir_r.c. A context-dependent attacker could trigger an out-of-bounds write in readdir_r via a crafted NTFS or CIFS image, causing a denial of service or potentially executing arbitrary code. Exploitation details ar...

CVE-2013-4332

CVE-2013-4332 affects the GNU C Library (glibc) and is described in multiple IBM advisories as caused by an integer overflow in malloc-related code (malloc/malloc.c) that can overflow when a large value is passed to pvalloc, valloc, posix_memalign, memalign, or aligned_alloc. The consequence cite...

CVE-2013-2207

CVE-2013-2207: In the GNU C Library (glibc), pt_chown() can bypass security restrictions due to improper permission checks, allowing a local attacker to access other users’ pseudoterminals. The vulnerability affects glibc versions before 2.18. IBM advisories (FSM, IMM2, AMM) reference CVE-2013-22...

CVE-2013-4788

The PTRMANGLE implementation in the GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 2.4, 2.17, and earlier, and Embedded GLIBC EGLIBC does not initialize the random value for the pointer guard, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to control execution flow by leveraging a buffer-overflow...

CVE-2013-4788

CVE-2013-4788 affects glibc (GNU C Library) up to version 2.4/2.17 and EGLIBC; PTR_MANGLE does not initialize the random value for the pointer guard, enabling context-dependent attackers to influence control flow via a buffer-overflow in an application. Affected components: PTR_MANGLE implementat...

Stack overflow

Stack-based buffer overflow in the getaddrinfo function in sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c in GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 2.17 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service crash via a 1 hostname or 2 IP address that triggers a large number of domain conversion results...

CVE-2013-1914

The CVE-2013-1914 issue affects the GNU C Library (glibc) up to version 2.17, where a stack-based buffer overflow in getaddrinfo could be triggered by a crafted hostname or IP, causing remote denial of service. Public details consistently reference an incomplete fix that ties into CVE-2013-4458 a...

Integer overflow

Multiple integer overflows in the 1 strtod, 2 strtof, 3 strtold, 4 strtodl, and other unspecified "related functions" in stdlib in GNU C Library aka glibc or libc6 2.16 allow local users to cause a denial of service application crash and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string, which...
