Detail
| 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 the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 2.13-38+deb7u4. We recommend that you upgrade your eglibc packages. |

| Title: | ELSA-2014-1110 -- glibc security update (important) | ||
| Description: | An off-by-one heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in glibc's internal __gconv_translit_find() function. An attacker able to make an application call the iconv_open() function with a specially crafted argument could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of that application. (CVE-2014-5119) A directory traveral flaw was found in the way glibc loaded locale files. An attacker able to make an application use a specially crafted locale name value (for example, specified in an LC_* environment variable) could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of that application.
