Descriptions
Stack-based buffer overflow in the catopen 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 execute arbitrary code via a long catalog name.
Desbordamiento de buffer basado en pila en la función catopen en la GNU C Library (también conocida como glibc o libc6) en versiones anteriores a 2.23 permite a atacantes dependientes de contexto causar una denegación de servicio (caída de aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un nombre de catálogo largo.
A stack based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the catopen() function. An excessively long string passed to the function could cause it to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code.
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.
