CVE-2021-3999

A flaw was found in glibc. An off-by-one buffer overflow and underflow in getcwd() may lead to memory corruption when the size of the buffer is exactly 1. A local attacker who can control the input buffer and size passed to getcwd() in a setuid program could use this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code and escalate their privileges on the system.

Se ha encontrado un fallo en glibc. Un desbordamiento y subdesbordamiento de búfer en la función getcwd() puede conllevar a una corrupción de memoria cuando el tamaño del búfer es exactamente 1. Un atacante local que pueda controlar el búfer de entrada y el tamaño pasado a getcwd() en un programa setuid podría usar este fallo para ejecutar potencialmente código arbitrario y escalar sus privilegios en el sistema.
