Upgrade Debian:11
glibc
to version 2.21-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glibc
package and not the glibc
package as distributed by Debian
.
See How to fix?
for Debian:11
relevant fixed versions and status.
Integer overflow in the strxfrm function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.21 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow.
