CVE-2012-3406 3 Canonical, Gnu, Redhat 4 Ubuntu Linux, Glibc, Enterprise Linux and 1 more 2019-04-22 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
The vfprintf function in stdio-common/vfprintf.c in GNU C Library (aka glibc) 2.5, 2.12, and probably other versions does not "properly restrict the use of" the alloca function when allocating the SPECS array, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass the FORTIFY_SOURCE format-string protection mechanism and cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted format string using positional parameters and a large number of format specifiers, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-3404 and CVE-2012-3405.
CVE-2012-3405 3 Canonical, Gnu, Redhat 4 Ubuntu Linux, Glibc, Enterprise Linux and 1 more 2019-04-22 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
The vfprintf function in stdio-common/vfprintf.c in libc in GNU C Library (aka glibc) 2.14 and other versions does not properly calculate a buffer length, which allows context-dependent attackers to bypass the FORTIFY_SOURCE format-string protection mechanism and cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and crash) via a format string with a large number of format specifiers that triggers "desynchronization within the buffer size handling," a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-3404.
CVE-2005-3590 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2019-04-11 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
The getgrouplist function in the GNU C library (glibc) before version 2.3.5, when invoked with a zero argument, writes to the passed pointer even if the specified array size is zero, leading to a buffer overflow and potentially allowing attackers to corrupt memory.
CVE-2006-7254 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2019-04-11 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
The nscd daemon in the GNU C Library (glibc) before version 2.5 does not close incoming client sockets if they cannot be handled by the daemon, allowing local users to carry out a denial of service attack on the daemon.
CVE-2017-1000409 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2019-04-04 6.9 MEDIUM 7.0 HIGH
A buffer overflow in glibc 2.5 (released on September 29, 2006) and can be triggered through the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Please note that many versions of glibc are not vulnerable to this issue if patched for CVE-2017-1000366.
CVE-2015-8778 6 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 3 more 10 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora and 7 more 2018-10-30 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
Integer overflow in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via the size argument to the __hcreate_r function, which triggers out-of-bounds heap-memory access.
CVE-2015-8779 6 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 3 more 10 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora and 7 more 2018-10-30 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
Stack-based buffer overflow in the catopen function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long catalog name.
CVE-2015-8776 6 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 3 more 10 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora and 7 more 2018-10-30 6.4 MEDIUM 9.1 CRITICAL
The strftime function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly obtain sensitive information via an out-of-range time value.
CVE-2010-4052 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2018-10-10 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
Stack consumption vulnerability in the regcomp implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.11.3, and 2.12.x through 2.12.2, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via a regular expression containing adjacent repetition operators, as demonstrated by a {10,}{10,}{10,}{10,} sequence in the proftpd.gnu.c exploit for ProFTPD.
CVE-2011-1658 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2018-10-09 3.7 LOW N/A
ld.so in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.13 and earlier expands the $ORIGIN dynamic string token when RPATH is composed entirely of this token, which might allow local users to gain privileges by creating a hard link in an arbitrary directory to a (1) setuid or (2) setgid program with this RPATH value, and then executing the program with a crafted value for the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3847 and CVE-2011-0536. NOTE: it is not expected that any standard operating-system distribution would ship an applicable setuid or setgid program.
CVE-2017-15670 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2018-06-20 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
The GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.27 contains an off-by-one error leading to a heap-based buffer overflow in the glob function in glob.c, related to the processing of home directories using the ~ operator followed by a long string.
CVE-2015-8777 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2018-01-05 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
The process_envvars function in elf/rtld.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allows local users to bypass a pointer-guarding protection mechanism via a zero value of the LD_POINTER_GUARD environment variable.
CVE-2004-0968 2 Gnu, Redhat 3 Glibc, Enterprise Linux, Enterprise Linux Desktop 2017-10-11 2.1 LOW N/A
The catchsegv script in glibc 2.3.2 and earlier allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
CVE-2003-0859 5 Gnu, Intel, Quagga and 2 more 7 Glibc, Zebra, Ia64 and 4 more 2017-10-11 4.9 MEDIUM N/A
The getifaddrs function in GNU libc (glibc) 2.2.4 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service by sending spoofed messages as other users to the kernel netlink interface.
CVE-2004-1453 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2017-10-11 2.1 LOW N/A
GNU glibc 2.3.4 before 2.3.4.20040619, 2.3.3 before 2.3.3.20040420, and 2.3.2 before 2.3.2-r10 does not restrict the use of LD_DEBUG for a setuid program, which allows local users to gain sensitive information, such as the list of symbols used by the program.
CVE-2002-1265 3 Apple, Gnu, Sgi 4 Mac Os X, Mac Os X Server, Glibc and 1 more 2017-10-10 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
The Sun RPC functionality in multiple libc implementations does not provide a time-out mechanism when reading data from TCP connections, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang).
CVE-2000-0959 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2017-10-10 1.2 LOW N/A
glibc2 does not properly clear the LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT and LD_DEBUG environmental variables when a program is spawned from a setuid program, which could allow local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack.
CVE-2000-0824 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2017-10-10 7.2 HIGH N/A
The unsetenv function in glibc 2.1.1 does not properly unset an environmental variable if the variable is provided twice to a program, which could allow local users to execute arbitrary commands in setuid programs by specifying their own duplicate environmental variables such as LD_PRELOAD or LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
CVE-2013-0242 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2017-08-29 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
Buffer overflow in the extend_buffers function in the regular expression matcher (posix/regexec.c) in glibc, possibly 2.17 and earlier, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) via crafted multibyte characters.
CVE-2013-4788 1 Gnu 2 Eglibc, Glibc 2017-07-01 5.1 MEDIUM N/A
The PTR_MANGLE implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.4, 2.17, and earlier, and Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) does not initialize the random value for the pointer guard, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to control execution flow by leveraging a buffer-overflow vulnerability in an application and using the known zero value pointer guard to calculate a pointer address.
