Descriptions

The GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.32 could overflow an on-stack buffer during range reduction if an input to an 80-bit long double function contains a non-canonical bit pattern, a seen when passing a 0x5d414141414141410000 value to sinl on x86 targets. This is related to sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-96/e_rem_pio2l.c.

La biblioteca GNU C (también se conoce como glibc o libc6) versiones anteriores a 2.32, podría desbordar un búfer sobre la pila durante una reducción de alcance si una entrada a una función long double de 80 bits contiene un patrón de bits no canónico, como es visto cuando se pasa un valor 0x5d4141414141410000 hacia la función sinl sobre sistemas destino de x86. Esto está relacionado con el archivo sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-96/e_rem_pio2l.c.

A flaw was found in glibc in versions prior to 2.32. Pseudo-zero values are not validated causing a stack corruption due to a stack-based overflow. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

Florian Weimer discovered that the GNU C Library incorrectly handled certain memory operations. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the GNU C Library to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It was discovered that the GNU C Library incorrectly handled certain SSE2-optimized memmove operations. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the GNU C Library to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Various other issues were also addressed.
