DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2013-10-09 CVE-2012-4424 Improper Restriction of Operations Within the Bounds of A Memory Buffer vulnerability in GNU Glibc
Stack-based buffer overflow in string/strcoll_l.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.17 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string that triggers a malloc failure and use of the alloca function.

5.1
2013-10-09 CVE-2012-4412 Numeric Errors vulnerability in GNU Glibc
Integer overflow in string/strcoll_l.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.17 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

gnu CWE-189
7.5
2013-10-04 CVE-2013-4788 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in GNU Eglibc and Glibc
The PTR_MANGLE implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.4, 2.17, and earlier, and Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) does not initialize the random value for the pointer guard, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to control execution flow by leveraging a buffer-overflow vulnerability in an application and using the known zero value pointer guard to calculate a pointer address.

high complexity
gnu CWE-20
5.1
2013-05-02 CVE-2011-4609 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in GNU Glibc
The svc_run function in the RPC implementation in glibc before 2.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a large number of RPC connections.
network
low complexity
gnu CWE-399
5.0
2011-04-10 CVE-2011-1089 Configuration vulnerability in GNU Glibc
The addmntent function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.13 and earlier does not report an error status for failed attempts to write to the /etc/mtab file, which makes it easier for local users to trigger corruption of this file, as demonstrated by writes from a process with a small RLIMIT_FSIZE value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0296.
local
gnu CWE-16
3.3
2011-04-08 CVE-2011-1658 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in GNU Glibc
ld.so in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.13 and earlier expands the $ORIGIN dynamic string token when RPATH is composed entirely of this token, which might allow local users to gain privileges by creating a hard link in an arbitrary directory to a (1) setuid or (2) setgid program with this RPATH value, and then executing the program with a crafted value for the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3847 and CVE-2011-0536.
local
high complexity
gnu CWE-264
3.7
2010-10-14 CVE-2010-3192 Information Exposure vulnerability in GNU Glibc
Certain run-time memory protection mechanisms in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) print argv[0] and backtrace information, which might allow context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory by executing an incorrect program, as demonstrated by a setuid program that contains a stack-based buffer overflow error, related to the __fortify_fail function in debug/fortify_fail.c, and the __stack_chk_fail (aka stack protection) and __chk_fail (aka FORTIFY_SOURCE) implementations.
