CVE-2007-3508  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-189  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 glibc to version 2.6-2 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:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the process_envvars function in elf/rtld.c in glibc before 2.5-rc4 might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a large LD_HWCAP_MASK environment variable value. NOTE: the glibc maintainers state that they do not believe that this issue is exploitable for code execution
