Descriptions

Multiple integer overflows in the strfmon implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.10.1 and earlier allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or application crash) via a crafted format string, as demonstrated by a crafted first argument to the money_format function in PHP, a related issue to CVE-2008-1391.

Múltiples desbordamientos de entero en la implementación "strfmon" en la Librería C GNU (también conocida como glibc or libc6) v2.10.1 y anteriores, permiten a usuarios locales o remotos causar una denegación de servicio (agotamiento de memoria y caída de la aplicación) a través de una cadena con formato manipulado, como se demostró con la manipulación del primer argumento en la función "money_format" en PHP, relacionado con CVE-2008-1391.
