NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nscd package and not the nscd package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The glob implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via crafted glob expressions that do not match any pathnames, as demonstrated by glob expressions in STAT commands to an FTP daemon, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2632.
