CVE-2012-4412
Last modified
CVE-2012-4412 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer overflow in string/strcoll_l.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.17 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 16.66% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
