CVE-2025-5745

CVE-2025-5745 concerns the GNU C Library (glibc) 2.40 and later, where the Power10-optimized strcmp/strncmp implementation writes to non-volatile vector registers v20–v31 without saving caller contents (per powerpc64le ABI). This can overwrite the caller’s registers, potentially changing control ...

CVE-2026-4438

The CVE-2026-4438 issue affects the GNU C Library (glibc) gethostbyaddr/gethostbyaddr_r when NSSwitch DNS backend is configured; versions 2.34–2.43 may return invalid DNS hostnames. Impact per sources is a DNS-spec violation; no exploitation details are provided in the documents. A patched versio...

CVE-2004-1382

CVE-2004-1382 affects glibc 2.3.4 and earlier via the glibcbug script, enabling a local symlink attack to overwrite arbitrary files in temporary locations. The root cause is the insecure handling of temporary files by the glibcbug script, with published advisories (e.g., CAN-2004-1382 and related...

CVE-2011-5320

CVE-2011-5320 affects the GNU C Library (glibc) where scanf and related input functions are vulnerable in versions prior to 2.15. A crafted large string of 0s can trigger a local denial of service (segmentation fault). The impact is limited to local attackers with access to the system and is not ...

CVE-2000-0824

The CVE-2000-0824 issue involves glibc 2.1.1 unsetenv(): when a variable appears twice in the environment, the value may not be properly removed, enabling a local attacker to influence setuid programs with duplicate variables (e.g., LD_PRELOAD, LD_LIBRARY_PATH) and potentially execute code as roo...

CVE-2006-7254

The CVE concerns the nscd daemon in the GNU C Library (glibc) prior to 2.5. The vulnerability arises because nscd does not close incoming client sockets that it cannot handle, enabling local users to perform a denial of service against the daemon. Affected component: nscd within glibc (before 2.5...

CVE-2010-3192

CVE-2010-3192 affects the GNU C Library (glibc) and concerns runtime memory protection that prints argv[0] and backtrace data, potentially allowing a context-dependent attacker to read sensitive process memory. The description references a setuid program with a stack-based overflow (fortify_fail/...

CVE-2026-4437

CVE-2026-4437 concerns glibc’s DNS response parsing. According to the initial document, calling gethostbyaddr/gethostbyaddr_r with a configured nsswitch.conf DNS backend in GNU C Library versions 2.34–2.43 can yield a crafted DNS response that violates the DNS specification, causing the applicati...

CVE-2000-0335

The CVE-2000-0335 issue affects the resolver in glibc 2.1.3 , which uses predictable IDs. This design allows a local attacker to cause DNS query spoofing by manipulating IDs, undermining DNS query integrity. The vulnerability’s impact is described as the ability to spoof results, with a base CVSS...

CVE-2026-0915

CVE-2026-0915 concerns glibc’s DNS handling: uninitialized stack buffer used as DNS query name when net==0 can leak stack contents to the DNS resolver. Connected advisories indicate affected packages (glibc) with fixes in versions >= 2.35-9 (e.g., SUSE/OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux,...

CVE-2026-6238

GLIBC: The deprecated debugging functions ns_printrrf, ns_printrr and fp_nquery in GNU C Library (glibc) 2.2 and newer fail to validate RDATA against its length for DNS LOC, CERT, TKEY or TSIG records. This may let an attacker craft a DNS response that crashes a target application or reads uninit...

CVE-2000-0959

CVE-2000-0959 concerns glibc2/ld.so: the loader does not clear LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT and LD_DEBUG before invoking programs from a setuid context. This can enable a local attacker to exploit a symlink to overwrite arbitrary files. Concrete details exist in CERT/CC reports (Debian advisory) describing th...

CVE-2026-3904

The CVE-2026-3904 issue affects the GNU C Library (GLIBC) v2.36 on x86_64 where memcmp, used by an NSS-backed path accessing nscd client code, may operate on inputs concurrently modified by other threads. This undefined behavior could crash the nscd client and dependent applications. The vulnerab...
