Updated glibc packages fixes security vulnerabilities

Publication date: 21 Mar 2021
Modification date: 21 Mar 2021
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 7
CVE: CVE-2020-27618 , CVE-2021-3326 , CVE-2021-27645

Description

Updated glibc packages fix a security vulnerabilities:

The iconv function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.32 and
earlier, when processing invalid multi-byte input sequences in IBM1364,
IBM1371, IBM1388, IBM1390, and IBM1399 encodings, fails to advance the
input state, which could lead to an infinite loop in applications,
resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2020-27618).

The iconv function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.32 and
earlier, when processing invalid input sequences in the ISO-2022-JP-3
encoding, fails an assertion in the code path and aborts the program,
potentially resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2021-3326).

The nameserver caching daemon (nscd), when processing a request for netgroup
lookup, may crash due to a double-free, potentially resulting in degraded
service or Denial of Service on the local system (CVE-2021-27645).
