Descriptions

The PTR_MANGLE implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.4, 2.17, and earlier, and Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) does not initialize the random value for the pointer guard, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to control execution flow by leveraging a buffer-overflow vulnerability in an application and using the known zero value pointer guard to calculate a pointer address.

La implementación PTR_MANGLE en la GNU C Library (librería también conocida como glibc o libc6) 2.4, 2.17 y versiones anteriores y Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) no inicia el valor aleatorio para la guardia de puntero, lo que facilita a atacantes dependientes del contexto controlar la ejecución de flujo aprovechando una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de búfer en una aplicación y utilizando el valor cero conocido guardia de puntero para calcular la dirección de puntero.
