USN-5379-1: klibc vulnerabilities

Related Vulnerabilities: CVE-2021-31870   CVE-2021-31871   CVE-2021-31872   CVE-2021-31873  

Several security issues were fixed in klibc.

It was discovered that klibc did not properly handled some file sizes values on 32 bit systems. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-31872)

Details

It was discovered that klibc did not properly perform
some mathematical operations, leading to an integer overflow.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash,
resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-31870)

It was discovered that klibc did not properly handled some
memory allocations on 64 bit systems. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause a crash, resulting in a
denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
