CVE-2009-5155 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 glibc-utils.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glibc-utils package and not the glibc-utils package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) before 2.28, parse_reg_exp in posix/regcomp.c misparses alternatives, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) or trigger an incorrect result by attempting a regular-expression match.
