It was discovered that an integer overflow existed in the
_IO_wstr_overflow() function of the GNU C Library. An attacker could
use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary
code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
(CVE-2015-8983)

It was discovered that the fnmatch() function in the GNU C Library did
not properly handle certain malformed patterns. An attacker could use
this to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu
12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-8984)

Alexander Cherepanov discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the
glob implementation of the GNU C Library. An attacker could use this
to specially craft a directory layout and cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2016-1234)

Florian Weimer discovered a NULL pointer dereference in the DNS
resolver of the GNU C Library. An attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service. (CVE-2015-5180)

Michael Petlan discovered an unbounded stack allocation in the
getaddrinfo() function of the GNU C Library. An attacker could use
this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-3706)

Aldy Hernandez discovered an unbounded stack allocation in the sunrpc
implementation in the GNU C Library. An attacker could use this to
cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-4429)

Tim Ruehsen discovered that the getaddrinfo() implementation in the
GNU C Library did not properly track memory allocations. An attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-5417)

Andreas Schwab discovered that the GNU C Library on ARM 32-bit
platforms did not properly set up execution contexts. An attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-6323).

  - res_query in libresolv in glibc before 2.25 allows

  - A buffer overflow has been discovered in the GNU C
    Library (aka glibc or libc6) in the
    __mempcpy_avx512_no_vzeroupper function when particular
    conditions are met. An attacker could use this
    vulnerability to cause a denial of service or
    potentially execute code.(CVE-2018-11237)

  - In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.29,
    proceed_next_node in posix/regexec.c has a heap-based
    buffer over-read via an attempted case-insensitive
    regular-expression match.(CVE-2019-9169)

  - The iconv program in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or
    libc6) 2.25 and earlier, when invoked with the -c
    option, enters an infinite loop when processing invalid
    multi-byte input sequences, leading to a denial of
    service.(CVE-2016-10228)

  - The DNS stub resolver in the GNU C Library (aka glibc
    or libc6) before version 2.26, when EDNS support is
    enabled, will solicit large UDP responses from name
    servers, potentially simplifying off-path DNS spoofing
    attacks due to IP fragmentation.(CVE-2017-12132)

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-8983)

It was discovered that the fnmatch() function in the GNU C
Library did not properly handle certain malformed patterns.
An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04
LTS. (CVE-2015-8984)

Alexander Cherepanov discovered a stack-based buffer
overflow in the glob implementation of the GNU C Library. An
attacker could use this to specially craft a directory
layout and cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-1234)

Michael Petlan discovered an unbounded stack allocation in
the getaddrinfo() function of the GNU C Library. An attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-3706)

Aldy Hernandez discovered an unbounded stack allocation in
the sunrpc implementation in the GNU C Library. An attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2016-4429)

Tim Ruehsen discovered that the getaddrinfo() implementation
in the GNU C Library did not properly track memory
allocations. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of
service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
(CVE-2016-5417)

Andreas Schwab discovered that the GNU C Library on ARM
32-bit platforms did not properly set up execution contexts.
An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2016-6323).
