Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one medium risk vulnerability.
1) Data Handling
EUVDB-ID: #VU31436
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2015-8985
CWE-ID:
CWE-19 - Data Handling
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The pop_fail_stack function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application crash) via vectors related to extended regular expression processing.
MitigationUpdate the affected package glibc to the latest version.
