Discussion
RETIRED: glibc 'stdio-common/vfscanf.c' Heap Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
glibc is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability.
Successful attacks will allow attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
glibc 2.19 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
