CVE-2021-35942

Description

The wordexp function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc) through 2.33 may crash or read arbitrary memory in parse_param (in posix/wordexp.c) when called with an untrusted, crafted pattern, potentially resulting in a denial of service or disclosure of information. This occurs because atoi was used but strtoul should have been used to ensure correct calculations.

Priority: MEDIUM
CVSS v3: 9.1
Component: glibc
Publish Date: Jul 1, 2021
Related ID: --
CVSS v2: CRITICAL
