UBUNTU-CVE-2020-6096 (CVE-2020-6096)

Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2020-04-01 22:15 – Updated: 2026-04-22 07:39 – Source website

Details

An exploitable signed comparison vulnerability exists in the ARMv7 memcpy() implementation of GNU glibc 2.30.9000. Calling memcpy() (on ARMv7 targets that utilize the GNU glibc implementation) with a negative value for the 'num' parameter results in a signed comparison vulnerability. If an attacker underflows the 'num' parameter to memcpy(), this vulnerability could lead to undefined behavior such as writing to out-of-bounds memory and potentially remote code execution. Furthermore, this memcpy() implementation allows for program execution to continue in scenarios where a segmentation fault or crash should have occurred. The dangers occur in that subsequent execution and iterations of this code will be executed with this corrupted data.

USN-4954-1 (UBUNTU-CVE-2009-5155)

Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2021-05-14 00:19 – Updated: 2026-04-27 14:11 – Source website

Summary

glibc vulnerabilities

Details

Jason Royes and Samuel Dytrych discovered that the memcpy() implementation for 32 bit ARM processors in the GNU C Library contained an integer underflow vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-6096)

It was discovered that the POSIX regex implementation in the GNU C Library did not properly parse alternatives. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2009-5155)

Summary

glibc vulnerabilities

Details

Jan Engelhardt, Tavis Ormandy, and others discovered that the GNU C Library iconv feature incorrectly handled certain input sequences. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the GNU C Library to hang or crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-10228, CVE-2019-25013, CVE-2020-27618, CVE-2020-29562, CVE-2021-3326)

Jason Royes and Samuel Dytrych discovered that the GNU C Library incorrectly handled signed comparisons on ARMv7 targets. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the GNU C Library to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-6096)

It was discovered that the GNU C Library nscd daemon incorrectly handled certain netgroup lookups. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the GNU C Library to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-27645)

It was discovered that the GNU C Library wordexp function incorrectly handled certain patterns. An attacker could use this issue to cause the GNU C Library to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-35942)

It was discovered that the GNU C Library realpath function incorrectly handled return values. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 21.10. (CVE-2021-3998)

It was discovered that the GNU C library getcwd function incorrectly handled buffers. An attacker could use this issue to cause the GNU C Library to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3999)

It was discovered that the GNU C Library sunrpc module incorrectly handled buffer lengths. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the GNU C Library to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-23218, CVE-2022-23219)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
