NVD Description

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

Integer overflow in the __tzfile_read function in glibc before 2.15 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted timezone (TZ) file, as demonstrated using vsftpd.
