Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU54337
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-10228
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. The iconv program in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.31 and earlier, when invoked with multiple suffixes in the destination encoding (TRANSLATE or IGNORE) along with the -c option, enters an infinite loop when processing invalid multi-byte input sequences, leading to a denial of service.
MitigationUpdate the affected package glibc to the latest version.

2) Integer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU55972
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 4.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35942
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information or perform a DoS attack.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in parse_param in posix/wordexp.c in the GNU C Library when called with an untrusted pattern. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger integer overflow and read arbitrary memory on the system of perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
MitigationUpdate the affected package glibc to the latest version.
