Descriptions

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.20 allow context-dependent attackers to bypass ForceCommand restrictions and possibly have other unspecified impact via a .. (dot dot) in a (1) LC_*, (2) LANG, or other locale environment variable.

Múltiples vulnerabilidades de salto de directorio en GNU C Library (también conocido como glibc or libc6) anterior a 2.20 permiten a atacantes dependientes de contexto evadir las restricciones ForceCommand y posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de un .. (punto punto) en una variable (1) LC_*, (2) LANG o otra variable del entorno local.

A directory traveral flaw was found in the way glibc loaded locale files. An attacker able to make an application use a specially crafted locale name value (for example, specified in an LC_* environment variable) could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of that application.
