The Red Hat security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for RHEL:6.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nss_db package and not the nss_db package as distributed by RHEL.
An issue was discovered in the GNU C Library (glibc) 2.36. When the syslog function is passed a crafted input string larger than 1024 bytes, it reads uninitialized memory from the heap and prints it to the target log file, potentially revealing a portion of the contents of the heap.
