Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0397-01
» ‎ Packet Storm Security Advisories

Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0397-01 - The glibc packages provide the standard C and standard math libraries used by multiple programs on the system. Without these libraries, the Linux system cannot function correctly. An integer overflow flaw was found in the implementation of the printf functions family. This could allow an attacker to bypass FORTIFY_SOURCE protections and execute arbitrary code using a format string flaw in an application, even though these protections are expected to limit the impact of such flaws to an application abort. All users of glibc are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a patch to resolve this issue.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2012-0126-01 - The glibc packages contain the standard C libraries used by multiple programs on the system. These packages contain the standard C and the standard math libraries. Without these two libraries, a Linux system cannot function properly. An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way the glibc library read timezone files. If a carefully-crafted timezone file was loaded by an application linked against glibc, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

» ‎ Packet Storm Security Advisories

Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-1526-03 - The glibc packages contain the standard C libraries used by multiple programs on the system. These packages contain the standard C and the standard math libraries. Without these two libraries, a Linux system cannot function properly. A flaw was found in the way the ldd utility identified dynamically linked libraries. If an attacker could trick a user into running ldd on a malicious binary, it could result in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running ldd. It was found that the glibc addmntent() function, used by various mount helper utilities, did not handle certain errors correctly when updating the mtab file. If such utilities had the setuid bit set, a local attacker could use this flaw to corrupt the mtab file.
