Stack-based Buffer Overflow
Publication date:

Description
A stack-based buffer overflow in the dynamic loader (ld.so) of the GNU C Library (glibc) versions 2.14 through 2.44 allows a local attacker to crash or corrupt the memory of setuid/setgid (AT_SECURE) programs.<br />
<br />
When such a program&#39;s DT_RPATH or DT_RUNPATH begins with $ORIGIN and is followed by NUL or &#39;/&#39; the loader both reads past the end of the path buffer and writes past the end of a stack-allocated internal buffer. The corrupted loader stack can lead to a loader crash (denial of service) and limited disclosure of process memory.
