Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in string/strcoll_l.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.17 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string that triggers a malloc failure and use of the alloca function.

Desbordamiento de búfer basada en la pila en string/strcoll_l.c en GNU C Library (aka glibc o libc6) 2.17 y anteriores que permite a atacantes dependientes del contexto provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) o posible ejecución de código arbitrario a través de una cadena larga que provoca un fallo del malloc y el uso de la función alloca.
