NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glibc-langpack-hne package and not the glibc-langpack-hne package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The deprecated compatibility function svcunix_create in the sunrpc module of the GNU C Library (aka glibc) through 2.34 copies its path argument on the stack without validating its length, which may result in a buffer overflow, potentially resulting in a denial of service or (if an application is not built with a stack protector enabled) arbitrary code execution.
