- CVE-2014-0475
Stephane Chazelas discovered that the GNU C library, glibc, processed
ββ¦β path segments in locale-related environment variables, possibly
allowing attackers to circumvent intended restrictions, such as
ForceCommand in OpenSSH, assuming that they can supply crafted locale
settings.
- CVE-2014-5119
Tavis Ormandy discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in the
transliteration module loading code in eglibc, Debianβs version of the
GNU C Library. As a result, an attacker who can supply a crafted
destination character set argument to iconv-related character
conversation functions could achieve arbitrary code execution.
This update removes support of loadable gconv transliteration modules.
Besides the security vulnerability, the module loading code had
functionality defects which prevented it from working for the intended
purpose.
For Debian 6 Squeeze, these issues have been fixed in eglibc version 2.11.3-4+deb6u1
