Descriptions

The strftime function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly obtain sensitive information via an out-of-range time value.

La función strftime en la GNU C Library (también conocida como glibc o libc6) en versiones anteriores a 2.23 permite a atacantes dependientes del contexto causar una denegación de servicio (caída de aplicación) o posiblemente obtener información sensible a través de un valor de tiempo fuera de rango.

It was found that out-of-range time values passed to the strftime() function could result in an out-of-bounds memory access. This could lead to application crash or, potentially, information disclosure.
