Discussion

GNU glibc Multiple Local Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

GNU glibc is prone to multiple stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.

Local attackers can exploit these issues to run arbitrary code with privileges of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts can result in a denial-of-service condition.
