Certain run-time memory protection mechanisms in the GNU C Library (aka
glibc or libc6) print argv[0] and backtrace information, which might allow
context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from process
memory by executing an incorrect program, as demonstrated by a setuid
program that contains a stack-based buffer overflow error, related to the
__fortify_fail function in debug/fortify_fail.c, and the __stack_chk_fail
(aka stack protection) and __chk_fail (aka FORTIFY_SOURCE) implementations.

mdeslaur | upstream has closed this bug as “won’t fix”. Let’s ignore this. |
tyhicks | upstream has now fixed this CVE so I’m un-ignoring it. We need to verify but we don’t think we are vulnerable as we’re already disabling the stack trace. |
