DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2016-06-01 CVE-2016-1234 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
Stack-based buffer overflow in the glob implementation in GNU C Library (aka glibc) before 2.24, when GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC is used, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long name.

2016-05-05 CVE-2016-4008 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in multiple products
The _asn1_extract_der_octet function in lib/decoding.c in GNU Libtasn1 before 4.8, when used without the ASN1_DECODE_FLAG_STRICT_DER flag, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion) via a crafted certificate.

5.9
2016-04-19 CVE-2015-8779 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
Stack-based buffer overflow in the catopen function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long catalog name.
7.5
2016-04-19 CVE-2015-8778 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
Integer overflow in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via the size argument to the __hcreate_r function, which triggers out-of-bounds heap-memory access.
7.5
2016-04-19 CVE-2015-8776 Numeric Errors vulnerability in multiple products
The strftime function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly obtain sensitive information via an out-of-range time value.
6.4
2016-04-19 CVE-2014-9761 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the (1) nan, (2) nanf, or (3) nanl function.

2016-03-14 CVE-2016-2856 Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls vulnerability in multiple products
pt_chown in the glibc package before 2.19-18+deb8u4 on Debian jessie; the elibc package before 2.15-0ubuntu10.14 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and before 2.19-0ubuntu6.8 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS; and the glibc package before 2.21-0ubuntu4.2 on Ubuntu 15.10 and before 2.23-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 16.10 lacks a namespace check associated with file-descriptor passing, which allows local users to capture keystrokes and spoof data, and possibly gain privileges, via pts read and write operations, related to debian/sysdeps/linux.mk.

2016-02-22 CVE-2016-2037 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
The cpio_safer_name_suffix function in util.c in cpio 2.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted cpio file.

2016-02-18 CVE-2015-7547 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in multiple products
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the (1) send_dg and (2) send_vc functions in the libresolv library in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS response that triggers a call to the getaddrinfo function with the AF_UNSPEC or AF_INET6 address family, related to performing "dual A/AAAA DNS queries" and the libnss_dns.so.2 NSS module.

2016-01-20 CVE-2015-8777 7PK - Security Features vulnerability in GNU Glibc
The process_envvars function in elf/rtld.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.23 allows local users to bypass a pointer-guarding protection mechanism via a zero value of the LD_POINTER_GUARD environment variable.
