Security Advisory Description

The fnmatch function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.22 might allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed pattern, which triggers an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2015-8984)
Impact
An attacker with administrative command line access may be able to exploit the flaw in the fnmatch function to cause a denial of service (DoS).
