Descriptions

nscd in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before version 2.20 does not correctly compute the size of an internal buffer when processing netgroup requests, possibly leading to an nscd daemon crash or code execution as the user running nscd.

nscd en la biblioteca C de GNU (también conocido como glibc o libc6), versiones anteriores a la 2.20 ,no calcula correctamente el tamaño de un buffer interno al procesar solicitudes netgroup, posibilitando la caída del demonio nscd o permitiendo la ejecución de código como usuario que ejecuta nscd.

Many Cisco devices such as Cisco RV340, Cisco RV340W, Cisco RV345, Cisco RV345P, Cisco RV260, Cisco RV260P, Cisco RV260W, Cisco 160, and Cisco 160W suffer from having hard-coded credentials, known GNU glibc, known BusyBox, and IoT Inspector identified vulnerabilities.
