- Summary
- Glibc: off-by-one heap-based buffer overflow in __vsyslog_internal()
- Details
-
An off-by-one heap-based buffer overflow was found in the __vsysloginternal function of the glibc library. This function is called by the syslog and vsyslog functions. This issue occurs when these functions are called with a message bigger than INTMAX bytes, leading to an incorrect calculation of the buffer size to store the message, resulting in an application crash. This issue affects glibc 2.37 and newer.
