glibc ELF code execution
| glibc-elf-code-execution (58915) |  High Risk |
Description:
glibc could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an integer overflow error in ld.so. By persuading a victim to process a specially-crafted ELF binary, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.
Consequences:
Gain Access
Remedy:
Apply the appropriate patch for your system. See References.
