Description

The GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.12.2 and Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a long UTF8 string that is used in an fnmatch call, aka a "stack extension attack," a related issue to CVE-2010-2898, CVE-2010-1917, and CVE-2007-4782, as originally reported for use of this library by Google Chrome. #### Bugs * <http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11883> * <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=615120> * <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681054>
