Summary
glibc vulnerabilities
Details

It was discovered that GNU C Library had a buffer overflow in the strfmon function when handling right-justification padding. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-19499)

It was discovered that GNU C Library had an out-of-bounds stack array access in the tdelete function. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-19542)

It was discovered that GNU C Library incorrectly handled memory when calling wordexp with the WRDE_APPEND flag. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-6368)

It was discovered that GNU C Library had a stack overflow in the wordexp function when expanding paths beginning with a tilde followed by a long username. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-6791)

It was discovered that GNU C Library had a hang in the SHIFT_JISX0213 character set converter. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-77117)

It was discovered that GNU C Library had a hang in the EUC_JISX0213 character set converter. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-80489)
