Last modified
CVE-2013-4237 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. sysdeps/posix/readdir_r.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.18 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) NTFS or (2) CIFS image.. EPSS estimates a 3.85% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
