Descriptions

manual/search.texi in the GNU C Library (aka glibc) before 2.2 lacks a statement about the unspecified tdelete return value upon deletion of a tree's root, which might allow attackers to access a dangling pointer in an application whose developer was unaware of a documentation update from 1999.

En el archivo manual/search.texi en la Biblioteca GNU C (también se conoce como glibc) versiones anteriores a 2.2, carece de una declaración sobre el valor de retorno tdelete no especificado al eliminar una raíz de un árbol, lo que podría permitir a atacantes acceder a un puntero colgado en una aplicación cuyo desarrollador no estaba al tanto de un actualización de documentación desde 1999
