CVE-2010-3192

Publication date 14 October 2010

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Negligible

Why this priority?

Certain run-time memory protection mechanisms in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) print argv[0] and backtrace information, which might allow context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory by executing an incorrect program, as demonstrated by a setuid program that contains a stack-based buffer overflow error, related to the __fortify_fail function in debug/fortify_fail.c, and the __stack_chk_fail (aka stack protection) and __chk_fail (aka FORTIFY_SOURCE) implementations.

Notes

mdeslaur

upstream has closed this bug as "won't fix". Let's ignore this.

upstream has now fixed this CVE so I'm un-ignoring it. We need to verify but we don't think we are vulnerable as we're already disabling the stack trace.
