  • CVE-2014-0475
    Stephane Chazelas discovered that the GNU C library, glibc, processed
    β€œβ€¦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, Debian’s 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
