Descriptions

An integer overflow in the implementation of the posix_memalign in memalign functions in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.26 and earlier could cause these functions to return a pointer to a heap area that is too small, potentially leading to heap corruption.

Un desbordamiento de enteros en la implementación de posix_memalign en las funciones memalign en GNU C Library (también conocido como glibc o libc6) en versiones 2.26 y anteriores podría provocar que estas funciones devuelvan un puntero a un área de la memoria dinámica (heap) demasiado pequeña, pudiendo corromper el heap.
