CVE-2010-3856

CVE-2010-3856 affects glibc's dynamic linker (ld.so). Local users can escalate privileges by abusing LD_AUDIT to load an unsafe DSO from a trusted library directory. Concrete details: affected components are ld.so in glibc before 2.11.3 and 2.12.x before 2.12.2; the underlying issue is improper L...

CVE-2010-3847

Glbic ld.so (GNU C Library) contains a local privilege escalation in the dynamic linker due to improper handling of the LD_AUDIT environment variable with the $ORIGIN token. A crafted DSO in an arbitrary directory can be loaded when executing a setuid/setgid binary, enabling privilege escalation....

CVE-2011-1071

CVE-2011-1071 affects the GNU C Library (glibc) and Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) prior to 2.12.2, with an underlying flaw in fnmatch() that lets context-dependent attackers supply a long UTF-8 string to trigger arbitrary code execution or memory exhaustion (DoS). Affected components include glibc in m...

CVE-2011-1089

CVE-2011-1089 refers to a vulnerability in the GNU C Library (glibc/libc6) up to version 2.13 where addmntent does not report an error when writes to /etc/mtab fail. The issue enables local users to trigger corruption of /etc/mtab, demonstrated by a process with a small RLIMIT_FSIZE. This is a se...

CVE-2010-4052

Vulnerability: GNU C Library (glibc/libc6) regcomp contains a stack-consumption DoS flaw. Affects versions up to 2.11.3 and 2.12.x up to 2.12.2. Attackers can exhaust resources via crafted regular expressions with adjacent repetition operators, as shown by the proftpd.gnu.c exploit. The connected...

CVE-2011-0536

CVE-2011-0536 affects glibc/ld.so in modified glibc builds where a setuid/setgid program contains $ORIGIN in RPATH or RUNPATH; a crafted DSO in a subdirectory can escalate privileges via local access. Root cause is an incorrect fix for CVE-2010-3847. The issue is discussed in multiple advisories ...

CVE-2011-1095

Summary of CVE-2011-1095 (glibc locale quoting issue) : The vulnerability affects locale/programs/locale.c in the GNU C Library (glibc/libc6) prior to version 2.13. The code does not properly quote its output, which might allow local users to gain privileges via a crafted localization environment...

CVE-2010-4051

CVE-2010-4051 : The regcomp implementation in the GNU C Library (glibc/libc6) allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a regex containing adjacent bounded repetitions that bypass the RE_DUP_MAX limit. Affected versions include up to 2.11.3 and 2.12.x...

CVE-2011-1658

CVE-2011-1658 affects the GNU C Library (glibc) ld.so: when RPATH consists entirely of the special token $ORIGIN, it can enable local privilege escalation by linking a crafted LD_PRELOAD with a setuid/setgid program. Affected are glibc versions 2.13 and earlier. The root cause is expansion of the...

CVE-2011-1659

CVE-2011-1659 is a vulnerability in the GNU C Library (glibc) prior to 2.13 where an integer overflow in posix/fnmatch.c can be triggered by long UTF-8 strings used in an fnmatch call, potentially causing an application crash (denial of service). Connected advisories (e.g., F5 BIG-IP SOL09408132)...
