CVE-2024-2961 Affecting glibc package, versions <2.35-0ubuntu3.7

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream glibc package and not the glibc package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:22.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The iconv() function in the GNU C Library versions 2.39 and older may overflow the output buffer passed to it by up to 4 bytes when converting strings to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set, which may be used to crash an application or overwrite a neighbouring variable.
