Descriptions
Integer overflow in posix/fnmatch.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.13 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long UTF8 string that is used in an fnmatch call with a crafted pattern argument, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1071.
Desbordamiento de enteros en posix/fnmatch.c en la biblioteca de C de GNU (también conocida como glibc o libc6) v2.13 y anteriores, permite a atacantes dependientes del contexto causar una denegación de servicio (bloqueo de la aplicación) a través de una cadena UTF8 larga que se utiliza en una llamada fnmatch con un patrón de argumento manipulado, un vulnerabilidad diferente de CVE-2011-1071.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in GNU C Library, the worst of which allowing arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation. Versions less than 2.15-r3 are affected.
