Synopsis: Moderate: glibc security and bug fix update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2017:0680-1
Issue Date: 2017-03-21

Security Fix(es):

* A stack overflow vulnerability was found in nan* functions that could
cause applications, which process long strings with the nan function, to
crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-9761)

* It was found that out-of-range time values passed to the strftime()
function could result in an out-of-bounds memory access. This could lead
to application crash or, potentially, information disclosure.
(CVE-2015-8776)

* An integer overflow vulnerability was found in hcreate() and hcreate_r()
functions which could result in an out-of-bounds memory access. This could
lead to application crash or, potentially, arbitrary code execution.
(CVE-2015-8778)

* A stack based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the catopen()
function. An excessively long string passed to the function could cause it
to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-8779)
