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...
