CVE-2019-1010023

An integer overflow was found in the __vsyslog_internal function of the glibc library. This function is called by the syslog and vsyslog functions. The issue occurs when these functions are called with a very long message, leading to incorrect calculation of the buffer size and undefined behavior. This affects glibc 2.37 and newer.

A heap-based buffer overflow was found in the __vsyslog_internal function of the glibc library. This issue occurs when the syslog and vsyslog functions are called with a message larger than INT_MAX bytes, leading to an incorrect buffer size calculation and application crash.

The res_query function in libresolv in glibc before version 2.25 has a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service through a NULL pointer dereference, leading to process crashes.

glibc contains a vulnerability that allows specially crafted LD_LIBRARY_PATH values to manipulate the heap/stack, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. This affects glibc 2.25 and earlier.

The calloc function in the glibc package in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.7 and 7.2 does not properly initialize memory areas, which might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (hang or crash) via unspecified vectors.

In glibc versions before 2.19-18+deb8u4 on Debian jessie and before 2.15-0ubuntu10.14 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 2.19-0ubuntu6.8 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, 2.21-0ubuntu4.2 on Ubuntu 15.10, and 2.23-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 16.10, there is a lack of namespace check associated with file-descriptor passing. This allows local users to capture keystrokes and spoof data, potentially gaining privileges.

CVE-2015-0235 involves a heap-based buffer overflow in the __nss_hostname_digits_dots function in glibc in versions 2.2 and other 2.x versions before 2.18. This allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via the gethostbyname or gethostbyname2 functions.

The posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen function in glibc before 2.20 does not copy its path argument in accordance with the POSIX specification, allowing context-dependent attackers to trigger use-after-free vulnerabilities.

In glibc 2.15, a bug was introduced in the nscd daemon that causes a null pointer dereference when a not-found netgroup response is not added to the cache. This leads to a crash of nscd.

sprintf in the GNU C Library (glibc) 2.37 has a buffer overflow (out-of-bounds write) in some situations with a correct buffer size. It may write beyond the bounds of the destination buffer when attempting to write a padded, thousands-separated string representation of a number, if the buffer is allocated the exact size required to represent that number as a string.
