CVE-2010-4756
Last modified
CVE-2010-4756 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The glob implementation in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via crafted glob expressions that do not match any pathnames, as demonstrated by glob expressions in STAT commands to an FTP daemon, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2632.. EPSS estimates a 2.63% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
