CVE-2017-16997 2 Gnu, Redhat 4 Glibc, Enterprise Linux Desktop, Enterprise Linux Server and 1 more 2025-04-20 9.3 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
elf/dl-load.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.19 through 2.26 mishandles RPATH and RUNPATH containing $ORIGIN for a privileged (setuid or AT_SECURE) program, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse library in the current working directory, related to the fillin_rpath and decompose_rpath functions. This is associated with misinterpretion of an empty RPATH/RUNPATH token as the "./" directory. NOTE: this configuration of RPATH/RUNPATH for a privileged program is apparently very uncommon; most likely, no such program is shipped with any common Linux distribution.
CVE-2017-17426 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2025-04-20 6.8 MEDIUM 8.1 HIGH
The malloc function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.26 could return a memory block that is too small if an attempt is made to allocate an object whose size is close to SIZE_MAX, potentially leading to a subsequent heap overflow. This occurs because the per-thread cache (aka tcache) feature enables a code path that lacks an integer overflow check.
CVE-2017-8804 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2025-04-20 7.8 HIGH 7.5 HIGH
The xdr_bytes and xdr_string functions in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.25 mishandle failures of buffer deserialization, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (virtual memory allocation, or memory consumption if an overcommit setting is not used) via a crafted UDP packet to port 111, a related issue to CVE-2017-8779. NOTE: [Information provided from upstream and references
CVE-2016-10228 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2025-04-20 4.3 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
The iconv program in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.31 and earlier, when invoked with multiple suffixes in the destination encoding (TRANSLATE or IGNORE) along with the -c option, enters an infinite loop when processing invalid multi-byte input sequences, leading to a denial of service.
CVE-2011-5320 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2025-04-20 2.1 LOW 6.2 MEDIUM
scanf and related functions in glibc before 2.15 allow local users to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a large string of 0s.
CVE-2017-12132 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2025-04-20 4.3 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
The DNS stub resolver in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before version 2.26, when EDNS support is enabled, will solicit large UDP responses from name servers, potentially simplifying off-path DNS spoofing attacks due to IP fragmentation.
CVE-2017-15670 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2025-04-20 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-2017-12133 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2025-04-20 4.3 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
Use-after-free vulnerability in the clntudp_call function in sunrpc/clnt_udp.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.26 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors related to error path.
CVE-2017-15804 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2025-04-20 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
The glob function in glob.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.27 contains a buffer overflow during unescaping of user names with the ~ operator.
CVE-2017-1000366 8 Debian, Gnu, Mcafee and 5 more 20 Debian Linux, Glibc, Web Gateway and 17 more 2025-04-20 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
glibc contains a vulnerability that allows specially crafted LD_LIBRARY_PATH values to manipulate the heap/stack, causing them to alias, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. Please note that additional hardening changes have been made to glibc to prevent manipulation of stack and heap memory but these issues are not directly exploitable, as such they have not been given a CVE. This affects glibc 2.25 and earlier.
CVE-2015-8982 1 Gnu 1 Glibc 2025-04-20 6.8 MEDIUM 8.1 HIGH
Integer overflow in the strxfrm function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.21 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow.
CVE-2015-7547 10 Canonical, Debian, F5 and 7 more 30 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Big-ip Access Policy Manager and 27 more 2025-04-12 6.8 MEDIUM 8.1 HIGH
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the (1) send_dg and (2) send_vc functions in the libresolv library in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS response that triggers a call to the getaddrinfo function with the AF_UNSPEC or AF_INET6 address family, related to performing "dual A/AAAA DNS queries" and the libnss_dns.so.2 NSS module.
CVE-2014-8121 3 Canonical, Gnu, Suse 4 Ubuntu Linux, Glibc, Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop and 1 more 2025-04-12 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
DB_LOOKUP in nss_files/files-XXX.c in the Name Service Switch (NSS) in GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.21 and earlier does not properly check if a file is open, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by performing a look-up on a database while iterating over it, which triggers the file pointer to be reset.
CVE-2016-2856 3 Canonical, Debian, Gnu 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Glibc 2025-04-12 7.2 HIGH 8.4 HIGH
pt_chown in the glibc package before 2.19-18+deb8u4 on Debian jessie; the elibc package before 2.15-0ubuntu10.14 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and before 2.19-0ubuntu6.8 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS; and the glibc package before 2.21-0ubuntu4.2 on Ubuntu 15.10 and before 2.23-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 16.10 lacks a namespace check associated with file-descriptor passing, which allows local users to capture keystrokes and spoof data, and possibly gain privileges, via pts read and write operations, related to debian/sysdeps/linux.mk. NOTE: this is not considered a vulnerability in the upstream GNU C Library because the upstream documentation has a clear security recommendation against the --enable-pt_chown option.
CVE-2016-6323 3 Fedoraproject, Gnu, Opensuse 3 Fedora, Glibc, Opensuse 2025-04-12 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
The makecontext function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.25 creates execution contexts incompatible with the unwinder on ARM EABI (32-bit) platforms, which might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (hang), as demonstrated by applications compiled using gccgo, related to backtrace generation.
CVE-2015-8778 6 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 3 more 10 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora and 7 more 2025-04-12 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-2012-6656 3 Canonical, Debian, Gnu 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Glibc 2025-04-12 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
iconvdata/ibm930.c in GNU C Library (aka glibc) before 2.16 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a multibyte character value of "0xffff" to the iconv function when converting IBM930 encoded data to UTF-8.
CVE-2014-7817 4 Canonical, Debian, Gnu and 1 more 4 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Glibc and 1 more 2025-04-12 4.6 MEDIUM N/A
The wordexp function in GNU C Library (aka glibc) 2.21 does not enforce the WRDE_NOCMD flag, which allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary commands, as demonstrated by input containing "$((`...`))".
CVE-2016-3706 2 Gnu, Opensuse 2 Glibc, Opensuse 2025-04-12 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Stack-based buffer overflow in the getaddrinfo function in sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors involving hostent conversion. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-4458.
CVE-2015-8776 6 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 3 more 10 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora and 7 more 2025-04-12 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.
