C Library

[ MDVSA-2010:111 ] glibc

 Problem Description:

 Multiple vulnerabilities was discovered and fixed in glibc:
 
 Multiple integer overflows in the strfmon implementation in
 the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.10.1 and earlier allow
 context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory
 consumption or application crash) via a crafted format string, as
 demonstrated by a crafted first argument to the money_format function
 in PHP, a related issue to CVE-2008-1391 (CVE-2009-4880).
 

[ MDVSA-2011:178 ] glibc

 Problem Description:

 Multiple vulnerabilities was discovered and fixed in glibc:
 
 Multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities in elf/dl-object.c in
 certain modified versions of the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6),
 including glibc-2.5-49.el5_5.6 and glibc-2.12-1.7.el6_0.3 in Red Hat
 Enterprise Linux, allow local users to gain privileges via a crafted
 dynamic shared object (DSO) in a subdirectory of the current working
 directory during execution of a (1) setuid or (2) setgid program that
 has  in (a) RPATH or (b) RUNPATH.  NOTE: this issue exists because

[ MDVSA-2011:179 ] glibc

 Problem Description:

 Multiple vulnerabilities was discovered and fixed in 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 (CVE-2011-1089).

Vim: Unfixed Vulnerabilities in Tar Plugin Version 20

4.2 Unspecified Behaviour of system() and  ``!''

4.2.1. The system() Function

system(), does not invoke /bin/sh to run the commands, as does the C
Standard Library function of the same name.  Rather, it uses the program
specified in the Vim internal option 'shell'.  The full details of how
system() works can be found in the Vim Manual:

  ``system({expr} [, {input}])                          *system()* *E677*
    [...]

[SECURITY] [DSA 1973-1] New glibc packages fix information disclosure

Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id         : CVE-2010-0015
Debian Bug     : 560333

Christoph Pleger has discovered that the GNU C Library (aka glibc) and
its derivatives add information from the passwd.adjunct.byname map to
entries in the passwd map, which allows local users to obtain the
encrypted passwords of NIS accounts by calling the getpwnam function.



[SECURITY] [DSA 2058-1] New glibc packages fix several vulnerabilities
