DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2013-10-27 CVE-2013-4122 Numeric Errors vulnerability in CMU Cyrus-Sasl
Cyrus SASL 2.1.23, 2.1.26, and earlier does not properly handle when a NULL value is returned upon an error by the crypt function as implemented in glibc 2.17 and later, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (thread crash and consumption) via (1) an invalid salt or, when FIPS-140 is enabled, a (2) DES or (3) MD5 encrypted password, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.

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
2013-10-04 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.

5.0
2013-02-08 CVE-2013-0242 Buffer Errors vulnerability in GNU Glibc 2.17
Buffer overflow in the extend_buffers function in the regular expression matcher (posix/regexec.c) in glibc, possibly 2.17 and earlier, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) via crafted multibyte characters.

gnu CWE-119
5.0
2011-03-02 CVE-2010-4756 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in GNU Glibc
The glob implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via crafted glob expressions that do not match any pathnames, as demonstrated by glob expressions in STAT commands to an FTP daemon, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2632.

4.0
2011-01-13 CVE-2010-4052 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in GNU Glibc
Stack consumption vulnerability in the regcomp implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.11.3, and 2.12.x through 2.12.2, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via a regular expression containing adjacent repetition operators, as demonstrated by a {10,}{10,}{10,}{10,} sequence in the proftpd.gnu.c exploit for ProFTPD.

gnu CWE-399
5.0
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.

5.0
2003-12-15 CVE-2003-0859 The getifaddrs function in GNU libc (glibc) 2.2.4 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service by sending spoofed messages as other users to the kernel netlink interface.

2002-11-12 CVE-2002-1265 Denial Of Service vulnerability in Multiple Vendor Sun RPC LibC TCP Time-Out
The Sun RPC functionality in multiple libc implementations does not provide a time-out mechanism when reading data from TCP connections, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang).
