Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2015-04-08 10:00 – Updated: 2024-08-06 04:47
VLAI?
Summary
The ADDW macro in stdio-common/vfscanf.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.21 does not properly consider data-type size during a risk-management decision for use of the alloca function, which might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation violation) or overwrite memory locations beyond the stack boundary via a long line containing wide characters that are improperly handled in a wscanf call.
Severity ?
