CWE-94  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:6 nscd.

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 posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen function in glibc before 2.20 does not copy its path argument in accordance with the POSIX specification, which allows context-dependent attackers to trigger use-after-free vulnerabilities.
