CVE-2003-0689  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 glibc to version 2.2.5 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.

The getgrouplist function in GNU libc (glibc) 2.2.4 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) and execute arbitrary code when a user is a member of a large number of groups, which can cause a buffer overflow.
